MXO Pitch Day 2026DARPA-PA-26-07 announces the MXO Pitch Day 2026, a solicitation designed to identify and fund high-potential, early-stage research proposals that aim to break new ground in three transformative thrust areas: a world beyond electronics, foundations beyond components, and materials beyond nature and current synthetic practice. The initiative seeks to catalyze scientific discovery through short-term efforts of up to 12 months with a maximum funding cap of $500,000 per award, focusing on advancing fundamental understanding, reducing technical uncertainty, and laying the groundwork for future breakthroughs. Eligibility is intentionally restricted to non-traditional performers, small businesses without prior DARPA prime awards, and university teams whose principal investigators and co-principal investigators have never led a DARPA-funded project, with the explicit goal of diversifying DARPA’s performer base and removing barriers to entry for new participants. Proposals must be submitted as a single unclassified abstract not exceeding five pages via the DARPA BAAT portal, using a mandatory template, and must include a clear problem definition, understanding of the current state of the art, and potential to inspire future research. No subcontractors, consultants, travel, publications, or subawards are permitted under any circumstances. All proposers must hold a valid CAGE code, be registered or in process of registering in SAM.gov, and affirm CMMC Level 1 compliance through the Supplier Performance Risk System. Fundamental research proposals require submission of biographical sketches and current/pending support forms for key personnel as part of DARPA’s Foreign Influence Review process. AI tool usage in proposal preparation must be disclosed and cited, though it does not influence evaluation. The solicitation operates under an Other Transaction for Research authority, not a traditional FAR contract, and contains no line items, CLINs, or formal contract clauses. Evaluation is based solely on technical merit, emphasizing the significance of the problem, potential for breakthrough impact, and the proposer’s vision and expertise, with cost considerations entirely excluded. The primary performance requirement is in-person participation at the MXO Pitch Day event in Chicago on November 2, 2026, where selected proposers will present their ideas; awards will be made immediately following the event without negotiation. Organizational conflicts are mitigated through stringent eligibility rules prohibiting prior DARPA leadership experience and eliminating third-party involvement. No options, extensions, or post-award modifications are anticipated, and all submissions must be unclassified and free of proprietary markings beyond basic labeling.

AI Contract Overview

VGN Resources Group Inc. will serve as the Program Administrator for a Ministry of Agriculture and Food initiative focused on enhancing water use efficiency in the Xwulqw'selu/Koksilah Watershed, where recurring droughts and irrigation curtailments have severely impacted forage producers over the past five years. The project builds on prior work involving soil moisture sensors installed on three farms in 2025, expanding monitoring to additional properties to generate region-specific data that answers critical questions about when and where to irrigate. The goal is to reduce the frequency and duration of Temporary Protection Orders by improving farm-level decision-making through accurate soil moisture insights, thereby mitigating economic losses and supporting sustainable agricultural practices. Ongoing support for irrigation scheduling will continue until broader water management directions are finalized through the official Watershed and Water Sustainability Plan process, ensuring that short-term interventions align with long-term provincial water governance.

Full Description

VGN Resources Group Inc. (VGN) will be the Program Administrator for projects under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's (Ministry) extension programming for environment and climate change. This RFP and project is administered by VGN on behalf of the Ministry. The Xwulqw'selu/Koksilah Watershed in the Cowichan Valley has experienced increasing frequency of drought and water scarcity in recent years leading to reductions in agricultural water supply. Producers in the Koksilah watershed have been subject to Temporary Protection Orders (TPOs) and irrigation curtailments for the past 4 years. In the summer of 2023 forage producers (with surface water licenses in the watershed) were curtailed for over one month resulting in economic losses to the sector. For these past 5 years, a select group of farmers have been engaged in irrigation scheduling activities in an attempt to delay the initiation of TPOs in this region. The impact has been reduced productivity for farms and a need to identify and implement opportunities to improve crop water use efficiency. There is limited region-specific information to support this decision-making, and this project will seek to provide answers to the question: “how much should I irrigate, and where should I irrigate?”.To achieve this, the project will build on work completed in 2025 by Hilldown Ag Services and Peak HydroMet Solutions that installed soil moisture sensors on three farms in the Xwulqw'selu/Koksilah Watershed. This project will expand the scope of soil moisture monitoring to include more farms.A component of this project will include a continuation of support for irrigation scheduling in the Koksilah region until direction has been confirmed through the Xwulqw'selu/Koksilah Watershed and Water Sustainability Plan process.
