AI Contract Overview

Show more

Kaiju is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate to solicit research and development for advanced electronic warfare technologies. The program focuses on areas including AI/ML, modeling and simulation, algorithm development, hardware, testing, and analysis. With an estimated total program value of 300 million dollars, the government anticipates multiple awards ranging from 1 million to 95 million dollars. This BAA remains open for individual calls through May 12, 2027, and is unrestricted, encouraging proposals from businesses and educational institutions of all sizes under NAICS code 541715. The solicitation process utilizes either a one-step or two-step submission path, where the latter requires an initial white paper and rough order of magnitude cost before a full technical and cost proposal is requested. Evaluation is prioritized by technical merit, focusing on innovation, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, followed by cost realism. Award selection also includes go/no-go criteria regarding administrative policy compliance and the production of immediately demonstrable results. Security and compliance requirements are stringent, requiring a certified DD Form 2345 for export-controlled efforts and a security risk review for all senior and key personnel to mitigate foreign influence. Contractors must adhere to strict marking guidelines for Controlled Unclassified Information and comply with the prohibition of ByteDance covered applications on government or contractor IT systems. Deliverables are managed via a Contract Data Requirements List, primarily requiring the submission of scientific and technical reports.

Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

The Aircraft Defensive Electro-optical Protection Technologies (ADEPT) program, solicitation FA2377-26-R-B011, is a one-step solicitation issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the Multi-Spectrum Defensive Electronic Warfare (MSDEW) Basic ARA. The objective is to develop pre-emptive and reactive countermeasure solutions in the electro-optical spectrum, including ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands, to protect U.S. aircraft and aircrew in contested environments. The effort is divided into two technical areas: Hardware and Executable Analysis of Threats (HEAT) and Advanced Countermeasure Engineering (ACE). This is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract with a total estimated value of 74,633,000.00 USD, primarily focused on experimentation, evaluation, and assessment. Proposals are due by November 9, 2026, and must be submitted via a secure DoD SAFE link, for which requests must be made by November 6, 2026. Submissions must include separate technical/management and cost/business volumes for each technical area. Technical proposal page limits are 15 pages for HEAT and 20 pages for ACE, with a 10-page limit for the Statement of Work. Evaluation is based on a Peer or Scientific Review focusing on technical merit and cost realism, with a requirement that proposals be categorized as selectable to be considered for award. Performance will take place at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, and requires CMMC Level 2 (Self) compliance for systems processing controlled unclassified information.
