Disruptioneering Program Announcement

Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07

The Disruptioneering Program, managed by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office, is designed to rapidly identify and leverage nascent scientific advances for national security through high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives. Rather than accepting proposals directly under the general Program Announcement DARPA-PA-25-07, the program operates by issuing specific Disruption Opportunities (DOs). These DOs are short-term solicitations, typically lasting no more than 60 days, that target specific technical domains to produce prototype demonstrations. Awards are issued as Other Transaction (OT) agreements for prototypes under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, which allows for greater flexibility and faster execution than traditional FAR-based contracts. Projects are often structured in two phases, consisting of a base phase and an optional second phase contingent upon the outcome of the first. Proposals are evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, and price reasonableness. Submissions must adhere to a strict three-volume format: a Technical and Management volume, a Price Proposal volume, and an Administrative and National Policy Requirements volume, along with a summary slide and a Task Description Document. Key administrative requirements include compliance with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for safeguarding federal information and strict disclosures regarding organizational conflicts of interest, particularly for entities providing SETA or A&AS support. Payments are milestone-driven and processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, with the Technical Representative or Program Manager responsible for the formal inspection and acceptance of all deliverables.

Industry Day: DARPA Documentation & Decision Support Sprint (D2)

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-118

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office (BTO) has issued Special Notice DARPA-SN-26-118 to announce a virtual Industry Day on September 22, 2026, for the Documentation and Decision Support Sprint (D2). This initiative aims to advance combat medicine by developing autonomous solutions that use passive sensor data, such as audio, video, and accelerometry, to assist untrained individuals in delivering tactical combat casualty care during the first 20 minutes of treatment. The project is divided into two primary lanes: Lane 1 focuses on the autonomous population of digital DD Form 1380 TCCC Cards, and Lane 2 focuses on providing real-time clinical decision support for non-medics based on Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Joint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines. This announcement is an informational notice and not a formal solicitation for proposals or abstracts. Interested U.S. entities and citizens must register for the Industry Day by September 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, with attendance limited to the first 1,000 registrants. While no formal proposals are being accepted, prospective competitors may submit one-page teaming profiles to D2Sprint@darpa.mil by September 22, 2026, to facilitate partnership arrangements. The D2 effort will be conducted at the unclassified level and will utilize targeted prize incentives to catalyze technological advancements. Technical and administrative inquiries are directed to Dr. Jeremy Pamplin and the D2Sprint email address.

Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-127

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office is soliciting innovative proposals under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-127, titled Perrseus, to develop microscale ultra-high-vacuum systems (uUHV). The program aims to enable compact cold-atom devices and environmentally-decoupled ultra-high Q microelectromechanical (MEMS) and photonics devices, specifically targeting manufacturable vacuum packages with pressures below 10^-10 mbar. The effort is structured as an Other Transaction for Prototype Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with an estimated period of performance of 42 months starting January 15, 2027. This includes a three-month Phase 0 for security set-up followed by technical development phases. Proposals are evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the DARPA mission, and budget, price, and schedule. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment and strict adherence to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling guidelines. The program emphasizes low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) and high-volume manufacturability. Awardees must deliver ten functional prototypes and undergo in-person government validation of vacuum metrics. The submission process requires a technical and management volume, a detailed price volume, and an oral presentation, with a final proposal deadline of September 23, 2026.

DARPA Surgical Competition (DSC) Industry Day

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-125

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office (BTO) is hosting an Industry Day for the DARPA Surgical Competition (DSC) on September 22, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM ET. This hybrid event, held in Arlington, Virginia, and virtually, aims to introduce a competition focused on developing a minimum viable product for scalable, autonomous robotic trauma surgery systems. The competition is designed to establish the state of the art for open robotic trauma surgery and identify technologies for autonomous surgical assistance. Performance will be evaluated through three primary lanes: Component Gates, which assess system safety and autonomy across medical knowledge, physical capability, and rapid learning; Surgical Collaboration, which tests the platform's ability to work alongside a human surgeon; and Surgical Independence, which evaluates the system's ability to plan and execute end-to-end trauma procedures without assistance. While this special notice is not a formal request for proposals, interested parties are invited to participate by registering and optionally submitting materials by September 18, 2026. These materials include a single-slide landscape PDF for a three-minute lightning talk and a teaming profile detailing technical competencies and collaboration goals. All submissions must contain only unclassified, non-proprietary information. Technical and administrative inquiries are managed by Program Manager Jeremy Pamplin via the SurgicalCompetition@darpa.mil email address.
