Building America Subject Matter Expert Technical Support
Solicitation # RFP-2026-10245()
The National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), operated by the Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC, is soliciting proposals under RFP-2026-10245 for technical subject matter experts (SMEs) to support the Department of Energy’s Building America program. The primary objective is to help industry stakeholders scale the production of high-quality, lower-cost buildings. The scope of work is divided into two main areas: new construction support, focusing on factory optimization, product design, materials innovation, and digital modeling, and envelope retrofits, which target the reduction of utility bills and first costs by addressing moisture, humidity, and infiltration. SMEs will be responsible for research, field validation, data collection, and knowledge transfer through technical reports, industry outreach, and educational presentations. NLR intends to award up to ten subcontracts using a Firm Fixed Price Work Order Process, with an expected annual funding of approximately 100,000 dollars and a five-year ceiling of 500,000 dollars per subcontract. The total period of performance is 60 months, consisting of a basic period and four 12-month options. Awards will be based on Best Value Selection, with qualitative merit weighted substantially higher than price. Technical evaluation criteria include expertise in building science, research and analysis capabilities, collaboration and workforce development, and a proven history of knowledge transfer. Proposals must be submitted electronically as PDF files and include a technical proposal limited to eight pages, a labor rate break-down, and required representations, certifications, and organizational conflict of interest statements.

Mobile Integrated Launch Capability
Solicitation # 26-MDA-12366
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is soliciting innovative and cost-efficient alternatives to current C-17 air drop target launches through the Mobile Integrated Launch Capability (MILC) program. The objective is to develop mobile launch platforms capable of deploying short to long-range target missile systems, including ballistic, air-breathing, and maneuvering targets, from various global locations via ground, sea, or air. This effort is structured in two phases: Phase I focuses on detailed design, engagement analysis, and prototype costing with an objective period of three months; Phase II involves prototyping, ground testing, and the delivery of one launch platform for a demonstration launch, with an objective period of twelve months. The solicitation follows a two-step competitive process based on the evaluation of white papers, which are judged on technical merit, innovation, potential utility to agency programs, schedule adherence, and lifecycle cost. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and maintain an active Secret Facility Clearance to handle classified information. Procurement may be executed through Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (RFO) based contracts or Other Transaction (OT) agreements, the latter of which prioritize commercial industry standards. Submissions must include a detailed program plan, a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate, and a full disclosure of any organizational conflicts of interest.

MTEC Solicitation Summary: Fiscal Year 2026 Multi-Topic Request for Project Proposals
Solicitation # MTEC-26-04-MultiTopic
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC), in collaboration with the Defense Health Agency, is soliciting project proposals under solicitation MTEC-26-04-MultiTopic for medical prototype technological and knowledge solutions. Authorized under 10 U.S.C. section 4022 and utilizing an Other Transaction Agreement, this effort seeks to modernize medical capabilities to maintain force readiness and soldier lethality in future multi-domain conflicts. The solicitation covers 16 distinct Focus Areas, including behavioral health, physical fitness, wound infection prevention, sepsis treatment, musculoskeletal injury interventions, non-addictive analgesics, blast and blunt impact sensors, and a multisite clinical biomarker platform for lung and kidney failure. Proposals are submitted via a two-stage Enhanced White Paper process, where selected Stage 1 submissions are invited to provide full cost proposals in Stage 2. To be eligible, projects must demonstrate clear military relevance, meet a minimum Knowledge/Technology Readiness Level of 3, and fit the specific definition of a prototype rather than being exploratory. Additionally, solutions must not have been submitted to MTEC within the last two years. While average initial awards range from 2.0 to 3.5 million dollars over a two to three year period, specific funding and performance periods vary by Focus Area. Teaming is encouraged, and successful projects may be eligible for non-competitive follow-on tasks.

Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office is soliciting proposals for the Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141. The program aims to develop innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials to overcome performance gaps in optical communications and LiDAR. The primary objective is the creation of scalable, fit-for-purpose materials, culminating in a prototype demonstration of a revolutionary NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator. Research focusing solely on inorganic materials or incremental improvements to the state-of-the-art is specifically excluded. This 36-month effort is structured in two technical phases, with Phase I focusing on developing PPP synthesis capabilities over the first 12 months. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment compliance and adherence to a program-specific Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) guide. Non-US organizations, FFRDCs, UARCs, and government entities are ineligible to serve as prime performers, though FFRDCs and UARCs may participate as subawardees provided they meet specific certification and conflict of interest mitigation requirements. Proposals must be submitted via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool (BAAT) by December 18, 2026. Submissions must include a technical and management volume, a price proposal with a detailed spreadsheet, a Task Description Document, and a schedule of milestones and payments. Evaluation will be based on the technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors. Payments are milestone-based and processed through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system.

USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # FA7000-25-S-C001
The USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA7000-25-S-C001 is an umbrella solicitation designed to acquire innovative commercial technologies and services to support the United States Air Force Academy's mission in leadership, academics, fitness, and professionalism. Operating as a CSO with Calls, this vehicle does not request proposals upon initial issuance but instead establishes a framework for future requirements. The government issues specific Calls for proposals as amendments to the CSO, with awards typically taking the form of FAR Part 12 commercial contracts or Other Transactions (OT). Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability, with the government seeking the best overall value. To date, the CSO has issued six distinct Calls focusing on diverse operational needs. These include strategic admissions outreach (Call 001), military exoskeleton technology to enhance warfighter lethality (Call 002), autonomous virtual perimeter monitoring for situational awareness (Call 003), and warfighter training support services for a 47-month cadet continuum (Call 004). More recent efforts include the implementation of AI-powered automated high school and college transcript processing (Call 005) and a comprehensive brand analysis to develop a Strategic Brand Roadmap (Call 006). Due to the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), certain requirements, particularly for AI and IT solutions, restrict participation to U.S. Persons, including U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
