Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 Announcement

Solicitation # DARPA-PA-26-02

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research through the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 to advance the development of utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers and associated computational workflows, with a focus on revolutionary breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements. This initiative, issued under solicitation DARPA-PA-26-02, operates through a series of targeted Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topics (QBITs), each defining specific research challenges, submission guidelines, and deadlines; proposals must respond exclusively to a published QBIT to be considered. The program is structured around three evaluation stages—assessing a plausible path to a United States Quantum Competitiveness (USQC) goal by 2033, evaluating the technical rigor and risk mitigation of the R&D plan, and verifying the concept’s validation through measurement and demonstration. Awards will be made under Other Transaction (OT) agreements, prioritizing technical merit and innovation through a trade-off analysis rather than lowest-price technically acceptable selection, and funding is expected to be distributed across multiple recipients from both traditional and non-traditional research communities. All participants must comply with stringent Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling protocols as mandated by DoDI 5200.48 and NIST SP 800-171, with documents requiring explicit CUI, Proprietary Business Information, and Export-Controlled markings on all materials and cover sheets, and secure transmission only through approved channels such as encrypted email or DoD SAFE. Contractors and performers must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity ID, maintain compliance with DFARS 252.204-7000 and 252.204-7012 for safeguarding defense information, and immediately report any unauthorized disclosures or cybersecurity incidents to the QBI Program Security Officer. Performance will be administered under the auspices of DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office in Arlington, Virginia, with invoicing conducted via the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and all technical data, budget, and source selection information designated as CUI with limited dissemination. Foreign persons may access CUI only under specific, pre-approved conditions tied to authorized DoD missions, and proprietary information must be marked and handled according to individual Other Transaction Agreements. The initiative sets a broad solicitation window through November 14, 2026, but individual QBIT deadlines and performance periods vary and are explicitly defined within

The National Cancer Institute, under the National Institutes of Health, intends to award a sole source contract to Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) for the procurement of the BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometry System, citing FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of any other responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements. The FACSLyric system is an integrated platform comprising proprietary hardware, firmware, software, calibration protocols, and factory-supported installation and training that are exclusively manufactured and maintained by BD Biosciences. No third-party vendor can replicate or provide equivalent components, as the system’s functionality, data acquisition workflows, and quality control procedures are tightly coupled with BD’s proprietary software, FACSuite, and its associated automation and reagent ecosystem. Substituting equipment from another manufacturer would necessitate complete redevelopment of laboratory processes, revalidation of assays, and retraining of personnel, resulting in significant delays, increased costs, and unacceptable technical risk. All capability statements from potential vendors, including small businesses and other designated small business categories, may be submitted via email to haunp@mail.nih.gov no later than 9:00 a.m. EDT on August 7, 2026, solely to assess whether competitive procurement is feasible.

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) intends to award a sole source contract to Carl Zeiss for an upgrade to an existing Zeiss Serial Block Face Scanning Electron Microscope used for three-dimensional imaging of cells and tissues. The upgrade is restricted to the original equipment manufacturer due to the proprietary nature of the instrument’s hardware, software, firmware, and system integration, all of which are exclusively developed and controlled by Carl Zeiss. Third-party vendors lack access to the necessary technical specifications, source code, calibration procedures, and engineering documentation required to perform the upgrade, making it impossible for any other provider to meet the agency’s performance requirements. The system’s functionality depends on precise compatibility between its integrated components, and only Carl Zeiss can guarantee proper alignment, calibration, and validation using proprietary tools and factory-certified engineers. Any non-authorized modification would void warranties, invalidate service agreements, and jeopardize future software updates and technical support. No competitive alternative exists that can deliver an equivalent upgrade while preserving the instrument’s performance, research continuity, or compatibility with existing datasets and workflows. The government has determined that no other responsible source can satisfy the requirement under FAR 6.302-1. A capability statement from any interested party may be submitted by August 7, 2026, to assess potential competition, but the award is expected within five days of that date unless a viable competitor is identified. The contract will be administered by NIBIB in Bethesda, Maryland, with primary contact through Trish Haun at haunp@mail.nih.gov.
