Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07-04

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is soliciting innovative basic or applied research through the Resilient Disruption Opportunity (DARPA-PA-25-07-04). The program aims to develop a fundamentally new methodology for accelerated materials testing and prediction for concrete, utilizing physics-informed scalability models and transportable material accelerators to predict macro-scale structural lifetimes in weeks rather than decades. This effort moves beyond traditional ASTM tests by requiring the use of specific rate-limiting kinetic equations, such as modified Arrhenius or Nernst-Planck. The project is structured into two sequential phases over a total period of performance not exceeding 24 months. Phase 1 is a 12-month base effort focused on the design and fabrication of a benchtop Material Accelerator and initial scalability model development. Phase 2 is a 12-month option period dedicated to refining the accelerator for higher rates and validating the scalability model. The total award value is limited to 2,000,000 dollars, with a maximum of 1,000,000 dollars allocated to each phase. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, utilizing the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing and payments. Eligible proposers must meet strict cybersecurity requirements, including CMMC Level 1 compliance and current status in the Supplier Performance Risk System. Proposals must be submitted via the DARPA BAA Portal by October 19, 2026, and must include a technical concept, a data and sourcing narrative, and a signed data sharing agreement. Additionally, any proposal involving University Affiliated Research Centers must include an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan. Key deliverables include a v1.0 Scalability Model by month 12 and a v2.0 model and transportable prototype by month 24.
