MTEC Solicitation Summary: Fiscal Year 2026 Multi-Topic Request for Project Proposals

Solicitation # MTEC-26-04-MultiTopic

The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is soliciting innovative medical prototype solutions through its Fiscal Year 2026 Multi-Topic Request for Project Proposals, targeting critical gaps in military medical readiness across fourteen distinct Focus Areas. These areas span a broad spectrum of battlefield medical challenges, including prevention of infections from high-priority pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella, development of pathogen-agnostic sepsis countermeasures, reduction of barriers to mental health help-seeking, optimization of musculoskeletal injury treatment, advancement of non-addictive analgesics, and creation of sensor systems to monitor blast and blunt trauma exposure. Proposals must align strictly with one Focus Area and demonstrate clear military relevance, with solutions intended for use in austere or contested environments, supporting pre-hospital and early care stages (Roles 1 and 2). All submissions must be prototype-scale projects with a minimum Technology or Knowledge Readiness Level of 3, and must not have been previously submitted to MTEC within the last two years. Proposals are submitted via an Enhanced White Paper format as Stage 1 of a two-stage acquisition process, with selected candidates invited to submit detailed cost proposals in Stage 2. Funding is expected to range from $2 to $3.5 million per award over a 2 to 3-year performance period, contingent on available federal appropriations and technical merit. The solicitation encourages teaming among MTEC members to address complex technical requirements, and leverages a new member directory to facilitate collaboration. Proposals must adhere to the definition of a prototype under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 and may include medical devices, drugs, biologics, knowledge products, or novel delivery systems, but explicitly exclude vaccines, burn wound solutions, discovery-stage efforts, and IV-based interventions where specified. The deadline for Enhanced White Paper submissions is October 30, 2026, and successful projects may be eligible for non-competitive follow-on awards based on demonstrated progress and milestone achievement.

Multi-Domain Force Applications and Traffic Management for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (M-FAT)

Solicitation # FA8750-25-S-7004

The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Rome Research Site, is soliciting white papers under Broad Agency Announcement FA8750-25-S-7004 for research and development in Multi-Domain Force Applications and Traffic Management for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, with an open submission window until August 4, 2030. This two-step process invites initial white papers that must be no longer than four pages, double-spaced, and must include a technical summary, task objective, and proposed deliverables; formal proposals are accepted only by invitation after the initial review. The BAA targets advancements in electronic warfare, cyberspace operations, command and control automation, and low-collateral defeat technologies to counter small unmanned aircraft systems, particularly swarms, with emphasis on blurring the lines between cyber and electronic attack, integrating AI and machine learning for automated decision-making, and developing autonomous interceptors with integrated effects. Additional focus areas include enhancing sensor systems for detection and tracking, creating a cyberspace effects library, and advancing unmanned aircraft traffic management systems to safely integrate with existing air traffic infrastructure. Communication resilience is also sought through novel waveforms, networking protocols, and AI-driven spectrum management. Estimated funding totals approximately $499 million, with individual awards typically ranging from $500,000 to $20 million, though awards up to $99 million are possible. Multiple awards are anticipated, and the government may issue FAR-based contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or Other Transactions, including prototype agreements with potential follow-on production pathways. Submission deadlines are recommended by fiscal year through 2029, with the final deadline set for August 4, 2030. Offerors must be registered in SAM, disclose organizational conflicts of interest, submit required security documentation including senior and key person profiles, and comply with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity baselines. Proposals are evaluated primarily on technical merit and mission alignment, with cost as a lesser factor, and must pass pre-award assessments for science and technology protection and financial responsibility under 2 CFR 200.206. All communications regarding technical matters must be directed to designated points of contact, and only contracting officers may commit the government. Submission noncompliance with formatting, content, or procedural instructions may result in rejection or reduced scores.
