Solicitation # N66001-27-Q-6020

The Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, intends to award a noncompetitive, Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order for noncommercial collaborative Research and Development services to The Pennsylvania State University (UEI: NPM2J7MSCF61, CAGE: 7A720). Under solicitation N66001-27-Q-6020, the project focuses on the fabrication, characterization, and exploration of two-dimensional (2D) materials for event-based imagery. The primary goal is to advance the state-of-the-art in event-based dynamic vision sensors to track high-speed targets, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), while adhering to ultra-low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) constraints. The Pennsylvania State University will be responsible for fabricating novel 2D materials, developing prototype devices, and optimizing those devices for packaging in collaboration with NIWC Pacific. This procurement is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1905 and 3305, as implemented by FAR 13.101(b), and follows the Simplified Procedures for Non-Commercial Acquisitions. The applicable NAICS code is 541713 for Research and Development in Nanotechnology, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. While the government intends to negotiate solely with the university, all responsible sources may submit capability statements, comments, or questions via email to Stephen O'Neill by 1700 Pacific Time on November 10, 2026. All responding vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid UEID and CAGE code.

Nanotechnology Orchestrated Viral Annihilation (NOVA) – DTRA

Solicitation # 5fc9b9c3-3c66-4cf1-bd23-c37a93301889

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, is seeking prototypes for nanotechnology-based medical countermeasures to protect warfighters from multiple viral threats. Moving away from the traditional one-virus, one-countermeasure model, this initiative aims to develop broad-spectrum, biocompatible, and biodegradable solutions capable of functioning in both pre- and post-exposure scenarios. The goal is to create a versatile platform that can neutralize various viruses while simultaneously mitigating inflammatory fallout from preexisting infections. The project is divided into three lines of effort focusing on prototype demonstration, ruggedization, and scalability. The first phase requires a prototype that demonstrates activity against at least five viruses in vitro and one virus in vivo, utilizing cellular decoy and immunomodulatory mechanisms. The second phase focuses on creating heat-stable, ruggedized formulations suitable for multiple administration routes in austere environments. Finally, the effort requires the development of a scalable manufacturing process and a defined regulatory pathway toward FDA licensure to ensure the technology can transition from nonclinical demonstration to clinical use.

STATE OF THE ART (SOTA) MICROELECTRONICS (ME) ADOPTION BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) FULL TEXT GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Solicitation # 26S1358

The U.S. Department of the Air Force, through SAF/AQC, is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) numbered 26-S-1358 to advance the adoption of state-of-the-art microelectronics across national security missions. This BAA does not solicit proposals directly but serves as an umbrella framework for future Topic Calls published on SAM.gov and the Classified IC-ARC, which will define specific technical requirements, submission deadlines, and evaluation criteria. The initiative focuses on accelerating the development and integration of trusted, assured microelectronics technologies, particularly those leveraging Intel 18A process nodes and advanced packaging via Secure Enclave, to ensure enduring technological superiority. Five key mission areas are highlighted: advanced secure microelectronics design and production; next-generation assembly, packaging, and test; novel microelectronics for disruptive capabilities; advanced test, validation, and mission qualification; and building an accessible, affordable, and sustainable domestic microelectronics ecosystem. Topics range from AI/ML architectures and radiation-hardened designs to chiplet-based systems, secure test methodologies, edge computing, RF electronics, PNT resilience, digital twins, and open-standard chiplet libraries. Proposals or White Papers may only be submitted in response to individual Topic Calls, which may be either closed (with fixed deadlines) or open (accepting submissions continuously during a defined window), and may follow one-step or two-step processes. Awards, if made, will take the form of procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for prototyping, follow-on production, or experimental purposes, with eligibility open to small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, and research institutions. OTA awards require resource-sharing commitments and participation by nontraditional contractors, small businesses, or third-party funding. Proposals must not include classified information unless explicitly directed by a classified Topic Call, which may require SECRET or higher clearances and approved secure facilities. Data rights are anticipated to include Government Purpose Rights for technical data and software, with specific terms negotiated per call. All submissions must reference the BAA number 26-S-1358 and be aligned with the specified Areas of Interest in each Topic Call. Interested parties must actively monitor SAM.gov and IC-ARC for updates, as Topic Calls may be issued throughout the BAA’s open period—initially one year, extendable annually—and any associated costs for proposal development are considered indirect, not chargeable to resulting contracts.
