Monolithic Graphene–CMOS Broadband (UV-LWIR) Focal Plane Arrays for target detection in low-light conditions
Solicitation # OSW26BZ06-DV027
Solicitation OSW26BZ06-DV027 is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) effort issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to develop a wafer-scale, monolithically integrated graphene-on-CMOS image sensor. The project aims to create a compact, low-power, uncooled focal plane array capable of broadband imaging from 300 nm to 10,000 nm (UV-LWIR) to enhance naval ISR target detection in low-light conditions. The primary technical objective is to retire risks associated with graphene material quality, high-yield back-end-of-line transfer, and absorber sensitization, with a specific performance goal of increasing integrated-device carrier mobility to approximately 10,000 cm²/V·s. This Direct to Phase II award has an estimated value of 2,000,000 dollars with a base period of performance of 24 months. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach, qualifications of key personnel, and commercial potential, with the contract likely taking the form of a Firm-Fixed-Price or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee agreement. Awardees must comply with strict cybersecurity and data safeguarding requirements, including R-DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC Phase I self-assessment standards.

Scalable Processing of Large Area, Oriented 2-Dimensional Polymer Films
Solicitation # OSW26TZ06-NV007
Solicitation OSW26TZ06-NV007, issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, seeks a scalable and cost-effective method to produce large-area, oriented 2-dimensional polymer (2DP) ensemble films, such as covalent organic frameworks. The primary objective is to overcome current processing limitations that result in insoluble powders or mechanically weak films by developing a process amenable to roll-to-roll manufacturing. The goal is to achieve high structural order and orientation of individual sheets perpendicular to the film plane while minimizing defects like pinholes and stacking errors. The project is structured in three phases: Phase I requires a continuous process producing films 1-50 microns thick at a rate of 100 feet per minute; Phase II aims to increase deposition rates by 2-5 times; and Phase III focuses on scaling to manufacturing-relevant levels with highly aligned domains. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under the STTR program, requiring proposing firms to be registered in SAM and the SBA Company Registry. Proposals must be submitted via the Defense SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal by October 21, 2026. Evaluation is based on technical merit, innovation, personnel qualifications, and commercialization potential, with technical soundness being the most important factor. Awardees must comply with strict cybersecurity standards, including CMMC and NIST SP 800-171/172, and provide an intellectual property agreement between the small business and its research partner. All work is expected to be performed at the unclassified level and is subject to government inspection to ensure high professional standards.

Recoverable Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Frontline Operational Awareness and Surveillance Missions
Solicitation # 70RSAT26RFI000030
The Department of Homeland Security, through the Drone Development Program, is conducting market research via Request for Information 70RSAT26RFI000030 to identify recoverable, reusable, lightweight, and rapidly deployable small unmanned aircraft systems. These multirotor systems are intended to support a wide range of frontline missions, including surveillance, search and rescue, incident response, perimeter security, disaster assessment, maritime awareness, and law enforcement support. DHS is seeking complete kits that include the air vehicle, ground control station, electro-optical or infrared camera payloads, and necessary training and support materials. Key requirements include NDAA compliance and adherence to Blue UAS, Green UAS, or equivalent cybersecurity and supply chain maturity standards. This RFI is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. However, the government is requesting estimated pricing for quantities ranging from 10 to 50,000 units, noting a target price of approximately 3,000 dollars per kit for high-volume production. Future acquisition strategies may involve a multiple-award IDIQ, catalog-based ordering, or a phased award approach. Interested respondents must submit a cover page, a completed summary table, and a narrative response not exceeding three pages to DHSDPD@hq.dhs.gov by November 5, 2026. Evaluation of potential systems may eventually focus on rapid deployment, video quality, range, endurance, and the ability to scale production.

Information Technology Support Services (ITSS)
Solicitation # 70RSAT25FC0000007
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate is preparing to extend Task Order 70RSAT25FC0000007 for Information Technology Support Services with Silosmashers, Inc. under the existing Blanket Purchase Agreement, without competition, for a 10-month period from August 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. This extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.103-1 due to the unique and specialized knowledge Silosmashers holds regarding DHS S&T’s IT infrastructure, workflows, and stakeholder expectations. The contractor provides critical services including enterprise architecture alignment with federal standards such as FEAF and TOGAF, information assurance and ISSO support for classified systems and SCIFs, and day-to-day IT operations including help desk, patch management, and asset tracking. A competitive recompete has been delayed due to FY26 funding lapses, and transitioning to a new vendor before completion of the acquisition process would introduce unacceptable risks including security vulnerabilities, noncompliance with mandates, service disruptions, and mission degradation. The incumbent’s established relationships, institutional knowledge, and continuous operational presence are essential to maintaining uninterrupted support for DHS S&T’s mission-critical systems, including SharePoint, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Power Platform. All hardware, networks, enterprise architecture, information assurance, and service delivery functions are covered under this task order, with performance based in Reston, Virginia, and administrative oversight from Washington, D.C. The requirement is classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541512. While no solicitation document exists and this notice is solely for informational purposes, interested parties may submit their capabilities to the Contracting Officer for potential consideration. The government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source modification to ensure continuity of mission support, and all inquiries must be directed in writing to Danette Williams at danette.williams@hq.dhs.gov.
