MXO Pitch Day 2026DARPA’s MXO Pitch Day 2026, identified by solicitation number DARPA-PA-26-07, is a targeted initiative designed to engage non-traditional performers, small businesses, and academic teams with no prior DARPA prime award experience in advancing foundational defense technologies. The program invites abstract submissions focused on innovative scientific discovery within thrust areas such as “a world beyond electronics” and “foundations beyond components,” with the goal of catalyzing breakthrough research that reduces technical uncertainty and opens new pathways for future development. Proposals are limited to five pages, must be submitted electronically through the DARPA BAAT portal by July 29, 2026, and are evaluated primarily on the clarity of the problem statement, the potential to redefine the state of the art, and the team’s vision and expertise—prioritizing technical merit over cost. Each submitted proposal must not exceed $500,000 in total cost and must be completed within a 12-month performance period, with no funding allowed for travel, publications, or subawards. Eligibility is strictly restricted to organizations and principal investigators who have never before received a DARPA award as a prime performer, and proposers must confirm active SAM.gov and PIEE registration, possess a valid CAGE code, and satisfy CMMC Level 1 self-assessment requirements. All submissions must be unclassified, and any use of AI tools in proposal preparation must be disclosed. Selected proposers will be invited to present in person at the MXO Pitch Day event in Chicago on November 2, 2026, where awards will be announced. The program operates under an Other Transaction authority, not traditional FAR-based contracting, and requires recipients to grant the U.S. government a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to all resulting intellectual property. Participation is barred for FFRDCs, UARCs, government entities, and organizations employing certain DARPA support contractors, and non-U.S. participants must comply with export control regulations. The solicitation emphasizes inclusivity and innovation over bureaucracy, creating a streamlined pathway for new entrants to contribute to national security research without prior defense contracting experience.
