Fast Assessment of Solutions, Therapeutics, Pharmaceuticals, and SupplieS (FASTPASS) Innovative Solutions Opening
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-160
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is seeking multiple awardees under Other Transaction Agreements for the Fast Assessment of Solutions, Therapeutics, Pharmaceuticals, and SupplieS (FASTPASS) program. The objective is to develop a near real-time, non-destructive, AI-enabled system capable of screening pharmaceutical products and inputs through their packaging at ports of entry and other supply-chain nodes. By integrating multi-modal sensing, signal processing, and data fusion, the system aims to augment FDA oversight by detecting contamination, adulteration, and formulation variability without opening containers. The program is structured as a 54-month effort divided into three 18-month phases, culminating in a fieldable platform with integrated visual imaging and machine-readable code documentation. Eligible respondents include universities, non-profit organizations, small businesses, and other commercial entities, provided they maintain active registration in SAM.gov and are not entities of concern under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The submission process requires a mandatory Solution Summary Presentation by September 21, 2026, followed by a full proposal due by November 10, 2026. Full proposals must include a technical and management plan, a task description document, a cost proposal narrative and workbook, and a milestone payment schedule. Selection will favor technologies capable of analyzing a broad range of products and packaging, while destructive testing methods and technologies requiring the opening of samples are explicitly excluded from the scope.

NGA - Boosting Innovative GEOINT - Science & Technology Broad Agency Announcement (BIG-ST BAA): Topic # 07 – Lidar Analysis for Surface & Environmental Reconnaissance (LASER)
Solicitation # HM047627XXXX
The Boosting Innovative GEOINT-Science and Technology (BIG-ST) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), solicitation HM047623BAA0001, is a general solicitation by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to address hard GEOINT problems across three technical domains: Foundational GEOINT, Advanced Phenomenologies, and Analytic Technologies. The BAA operates through separate Topic Calls, with the current active focus being Topic 07, Lidar Analysis for Surface and Environmental Reconnaissance (LASER). This specific effort seeks to develop AI/ML workflows and test methodologies for the autonomous 3D detection and classification of man-made surface and subsurface objects using space lidar data from ICESat-2 and GEDI. The project aims to advance technology from TRL 4 to TRL 5 or 6, with a Phase 2 budget of 854,000 USD over a 15-month period of performance. The government intends to award this effort via a procurement contract or Other Transaction Agreement, evaluating proposals based on a multi-step process including a conformance review and a scientific/technical review to determine the most advantageous offer. Key deliverables for Topic 07 include technical prototypes, a comprehensive software package with source code, and a final algorithm demonstration. Due to the nature of the work, strict security requirements are in place, ranging from unclassified CUI handling to Top Secret/SCI clearances and polygraph testing depending on the specific task. Contractors must also comply with rigorous research and technology protection plans, including the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 and NSPM-33, to mitigate foreign influence and protect critical technology elements.
