DARPA's Commercial Solutions Opening (DCSO) for Commercial Strategy
Solicitation # HR001126RE007
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting Commercial Solutions Proposals (CSPs) under solicitation HR001126RE007 to transition DARPA-funded research and development into practical military and civilian capabilities. A central component of this effort is the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI), which aims to pair technical performer teams with experienced business talent to accelerate commercialization, reduce business risk, and attract private investment. The program focuses on developing value propositions, conducting competitive and techno-economic analyses, and creating comprehensive commercialization and intellectual property strategies. Offerors may also propose an optional Minimum Viable Product (MVP) plan to demonstrate utility and market entry. The government may award either a fixed-price FAR-based procurement contract or an Other Transaction (OT) for Prototypes under 10 U.S.C. 4022. While there is no formal ceiling, DARPA highly encourages base proposals to be limited to 350,000 dollars or less to expedite the evaluation and award process. Proposals are evaluated based on their potential contribution to the DARPA mission, commercialization readiness, and price fairness, though they are not ranked against one another. Key requirements include the identification of a qualified Embedded Entrepreneur as the sole key personnel, registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), and maintenance of CMMC Level 1 certification. All proposals must be submitted in unclassified format to DARPACSO@darpa.mil by April 30, 2027.

FPV Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for ISR OperationsThe contract seeks the development and delivery of First-Person View unmanned aerial systems designed explicitly for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions in challenging operational environments, including those that are GPS-denied, high-electromagnetic interference, and maritime. These systems must deliver 45 to 60 minutes of endurance and be capable of rapid deployment to support time-sensitive missions. The technology must operate reliably under extreme conditions where conventional navigation and communication systems are compromised, demanding robust, self-contained avionics and resilient data links. The aircraft should be optimized for low-observable characteristics and field-ready handling to meet the demands of tactical special operations forces. This is a subcontract opportunity under the NAICS code 334511, tied to the Naval Special Warfare Command within the Department of Defense, with a performance location in San Diego, California, ZIP 92155. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, and responses are due by December 31, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. While no set-aside designation or point of contact is specified, the nature of the requirement suggests a focus on advanced aerospace manufacturing capabilities with proven experience in military-grade UAS integration. Contractors must demonstrate technical precision, operational relevance, and the ability to deliver systems that meet the rigorous standards of special operations in austere maritime and urban terrain.
