Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

Amendment 0001: Please see attached CSO Q & A



Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) is interested in awarding Other Transaction Agreements (Agreements) to nontraditional and traditional defense contractors and non-profit research institutions (to include universities), to carry out prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the Armed Forces of the United States.



As such, NUWC announces the release of a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for Tactical Oceanography Supporting Full-Spectrum Undersea Warfare. This CSO is seeking proposals for commercial prototyping efforts that include the development of new onboard and offboard environmental sensors and devices that build operator situational awareness and information systems that enable operators to increase performance of existing systems through expert use of the environment. Solution briefs / white paper proposals are sought under the CSO, which will be a phased competitive process to ensure that competitive procedures are used to the maximum extent practicable when entering into Agreements to carry out these prototype projects.



The CSO, SOWs, and Agreement are provided as attachments to this notice. Proposal instructions are provided in the CSO. Awardees will perform to a Statement of Work (SOW). Note that there will be three levels of Security classification in the SOWs (Unclassified/CUI, Secret, and TS/SCI, which are attached as SOWs 1, 2, and 3, respectively) and the solicitation DD254s will be provided as an addendum to this announcement on or around 03 April 2026.



The anticipated award date of individual Agreements is expected to be on or about 26 June 2026.



Any questions pertaining to this requirement should be addressed to both Julianna Ricci at contact@example.gov and Alexandra Cordts at contact@example.gov.



Solution Briefs are due by 17 April 2026 at 02:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) via email to the following Government Points of Contact (POC): Julianna Ricci – contact@example.gov (Agreement Specialist) and Chris Kenney - contact@example.gov (Agreement Officer).
