Predicted recompete opportunity based on federal award data.
Current Contract: HR001126CE016 Incumbent: SPACE KINETIC CORP. Contract Value: $949,920 Potential End Date: 2026-11-07T00:00:00.000Z Competition: COMPETED UNDER SAP Pricing: FIRM FIXED PRICE Classification: recompete-likely (Confidence: medium - 65/100)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) mission is to create technological surprise for national security, which drives its Research and Development (R&D) programs to transform revolutionary concepts into practical capabilities for the military and civilian society. Under DARPA’s Commercial Solutions Opening (DCSO), DARPA seeks to close military and civilian capability gaps with commercial solutions derived from the Agency's R&D programs. This DCSO is solicited by DARPA Commercial Strategy within the Director’s Office. The Commercial Strategy team oversees the implementation of the DCSO, which includes the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI). The EEI, through the DCSO, awards participants with funds to support bringing in an embedded entrepreneur (EE) to assist performers with commercialization and business efforts.


Proposals for the DCSO are solicited for transitioning and commercializing innovative solutions derived from DARPA R&D-funded technologies into capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide new technological advancements. DARPA reasonably anticipates meaningful proposals with varying technical, scientific, and business approaches in response to this DCSO.

Protein Palace Proposers Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is initiating the Protein Palace program to develop a universal, tunable protein purification platform. This initiative aims to replace the traditional lock-and-key paradigm with a system capable of purifying multiple proteins from a single system by leveraging unique physicochemical characteristics to improve biomanufacturing specificity, generalizability, and scalability. The program is structured into two distinct phases: a 24-month Phase 1 focused on proving the feasibility of specificity and generalizability by separating eight different proteins, followed by an 18-month Phase 2 focused on scalability and throughput, which requires demonstrating the platform on two additional proteins that are difficult to purify using current state-of-the-art methods. To support this effort, DARPA is hosting an in-person Proposers Day on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event is unclassified, and all attendees must provide government-issued photo identification. While the current Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-01 and its subsequent amendment serve as information and planning tools rather than a formal solicitation, DARPA anticipates releasing the full solicitation on sam.gov prior to the event. Interested parties must meet the registration deadline of November 9, 2026, to attend the session.
