STATE OF THE ART (SOTA) MICROELECTRONICS (ME) ADOPTION BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) FULL TEXT GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Solicitation # 26S1358

The U.S. Department of the Air Force, through SAF/AQC, is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) numbered 26-S-1358 to advance the adoption of state-of-the-art microelectronics across national security missions. This BAA does not solicit proposals directly but serves as an umbrella framework for future Topic Calls published on SAM.gov and the Classified IC-ARC, which will define specific technical requirements, submission deadlines, and evaluation criteria. The initiative focuses on accelerating the development and integration of trusted, assured microelectronics technologies, particularly those leveraging Intel 18A process nodes and advanced packaging via Secure Enclave, to ensure enduring technological superiority. Five key mission areas are highlighted: advanced secure microelectronics design and production; next-generation assembly, packaging, and test; novel microelectronics for disruptive capabilities; advanced test, validation, and mission qualification; and building an accessible, affordable, and sustainable domestic microelectronics ecosystem. Topics range from AI/ML architectures and radiation-hardened designs to chiplet-based systems, secure test methodologies, edge computing, RF electronics, PNT resilience, digital twins, and open-standard chiplet libraries. Proposals or White Papers may only be submitted in response to individual Topic Calls, which may be either closed (with fixed deadlines) or open (accepting submissions continuously during a defined window), and may follow one-step or two-step processes. Awards, if made, will take the form of procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for prototyping, follow-on production, or experimental purposes, with eligibility open to small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, and research institutions. OTA awards require resource-sharing commitments and participation by nontraditional contractors, small businesses, or third-party funding. Proposals must not include classified information unless explicitly directed by a classified Topic Call, which may require SECRET or higher clearances and approved secure facilities. Data rights are anticipated to include Government Purpose Rights for technical data and software, with specific terms negotiated per call. All submissions must reference the BAA number 26-S-1358 and be aligned with the specified Areas of Interest in each Topic Call. Interested parties must actively monitor SAM.gov and IC-ARC for updates, as Topic Calls may be issued throughout the BAA’s open period—initially one year, extendable annually—and any associated costs for proposal development are considered indirect, not chargeable to resulting contracts.

ERIS Shopping Notice: High Duty Cycle High Energy Lasers (HEL) for SWaP-Constrained Systems

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-82

DARPA’s Strategic Technologies Office is actively seeking innovative, post-competitive solutions through the ERIS Marketplace for high-energy lasers operating in the 100W to 20 kW power range with high duty cycle capabilities, specifically designed for integration into Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)-constrained military platforms such as Stryker vehicles, Collaborative Combat Aircraft, and other unmanned aerial systems. The solicitation, identified as DARPA-SN-26-82 and posted on June 4, 2026, with a closing date of November 30, 2026, is not a traditional procurement but a market research effort aimed at identifying breakthrough technologies that advance the state of the art in laser systems under austere conditions. Proposals must demonstrate a clear understanding of current technical limitations, particularly regarding thermal management, beam coherence, and sustained firing capability, while proposing novel architectures that enable scalable power generation, phase control for beam tuning, wavelength flexibility, and efficient heat exhaust to maintain operational readiness. Solutions must be submitted as video presentations via the DARPAConnect ERIS Portal, titled in the format “DARPA-SN-26-82: [Your Solution Title],” with a mandatory confirmation email sent to eris@darpa.mil containing the submission title and date. Both new proposals and existing awardable solutions on ERIS may be submitted, with existing providers able to flag prior submissions for consideration. Evaluation is based on four core, equally critical factors: the depth of problem definition and comparison to the current state of the art; the potential for significant technical innovation in generating high-power lasers for compact platforms; the demonstrated expertise and vision of the proposing team; and the broader impact on tactical defense systems such as counter-UAV and counter-rocket applications as well as potential commercial use cases. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the government retains the right to make one or more awards before the official deadline, meaning early submission is strongly encouraged. There are no specified pricing structures, delivery schedules, or contract clauses, as this is a research and discovery effort under ERIS; all participants are directed to the established ERIS Master Solicitation for standard procedures. The effort falls under NAICS code 541713 and is managed by DARPA from its Arlington, Virginia office, with all inquiries and submissions routed through the designated ERIS coordinator.

American River Common Features, 2016 Flood Risk Management Project, Sacramento, California

Solicitation # A4794

The Flood Risk Management Project focuses on design refinements to the 2016 American River Comprehensive Flood Project to mitigate erosion and slope instability along levees of the American and Sacramento Rivers in Sacramento County, California. The work encompasses eight major components: Magpie Creek Project; American River Erosion Contracts 3B North, 3B South, 4A, and 4B; Sacramento River Erosion Contract 3; American River and Sacramento River Mitigation Sites; and the installation of a Piezometer Network for groundwater monitoring. The primary objective is to enhance flood risk reduction through engineering modifications, footprint expansions of levee systems, and implementation of compensatory habitat mitigation. A critical administrative component is the approval of a 49-year General Lease by the State Lands Commission for the American River Erosion Contracts 3B North and 3B South, extending through June 22, 2075, ensuring long-term land use authority for project operations. Environmental compliance is governed exclusively under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with formal adoption of a Final Environmental Impact Report and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which was updated in 2023 and again in 2025 to reflect evolving project conditions and mitigation requirements. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by government entities—the California State Lands Commission and the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency—with oversight focused on adherence to CEQA findings, implementation of mitigation measures, and environmental compliance rather than traditional federal procurement standards. While the project is administered by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, with key contacts including Robin Tuohy and Omar Fernandez, no traditional contract clauses, pricing data, or FAR-compliant administration details such as payment offices, accounting codes, or evaluation factors are present in the documentation. The solicitation number A4794 was posted on June 23, 2026, and the project relies on a hybrid structure of long-term land leases and individual task contracts without formal classification under standard federal contract types. All deliverables center on environmental resilience and infrastructure protection, with no indication of commercial goods, shipping terms, or service-based performance metrics beyond ecological and geotechnical outcomes.

The contract is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541713 and is associated with the Department of Defense, specifically under the Air Force Research Laboratory's oversight. Posted in December 2025, the engagement emphasizes innovation in algorithmic resilience and adaptability within complex operational settings. The scope includes both the design phase and rigorous testing to validate effectiveness against various forms of data interference and attack vectors. This work is intended to enhance decision-making systems that operate in contested or compromised environments, thereby supporting mission-critical functions that rely on reliable and accurate computational outputs. Further administrative details such as exact locations, points of contact, or set-aside statuses are not specified.
