Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Solutions.
Solicitation # FA2518-25-S-C001
The United States Space Force, through the Space Acquisition and Integration Office, is executing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation FA2518-25-S-C001 to acquire innovative commercial technologies, products, and services that enhance Space Domain Awareness (SDA). The program focuses on improving the ability to detect, characterize, attribute, predict, and target activities in the space domain. This long-term mechanism remains open for five years and utilizes a multi-phase submission process consisting of an initial white paper and PowerPoint briefing, an optional pitch session, and a final full proposal package. Awards are made as FAR-based fixed-price contracts, and the government reserves the right to award some, all, or none of the proposed solutions. A primary focus of the current effort is Area of Interest (AOI) 2025_01, titled Advanced SDA Tools for Research and Analytics (ASTRA), which is a 100 percent small business set-aside. This specific AOI emphasizes research, development, and prototyping for scalable data management, modeling, and agile software prototyping, with an estimated combined funding pool of 1.5 million dollars across related AOIs and a period of performance not exceeding 12 months. Phase I submissions must be unclassified, though subsequent phases may require higher classification levels. Offerors must comply with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 requirements, particularly if handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Participation is restricted to U.S. entities due to national security and export control considerations.

Protein Palace Proposers Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is initiating the Protein Palace program to develop a universal, tunable protein purification platform. This initiative aims to replace the traditional lock-and-key paradigm with a system capable of purifying multiple proteins from a single system by leveraging unique physicochemical characteristics to improve biomanufacturing specificity, generalizability, and scalability. The program is structured into two distinct phases: a 24-month Phase 1 focused on proving the feasibility of specificity and generalizability by separating eight different proteins, followed by an 18-month Phase 2 focused on scalability and throughput, which requires demonstrating the platform on two additional proteins that are difficult to purify using current state-of-the-art methods. To support this effort, DARPA is hosting an in-person Proposers Day on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event is unclassified, and all attendees must provide government-issued photo identification. While the current Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-01 and its subsequent amendment serve as information and planning tools rather than a formal solicitation, DARPA anticipates releasing the full solicitation on sam.gov prior to the event. Interested parties must meet the registration deadline of November 9, 2026, to attend the session.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is issuing Request for Information (RFI) DARPA-SS-27-01 to explore the current state of the art and technological limitations of solid-state direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion. This initiative focuses on systems that convert temperature differentials into electrical energy without the use of mechanical moving parts, such as turbines or pistons. The primary objective is to gather quantitative data on performance across various operating temperatures, identify limiting factors, and determine the most viable use cases to inform the planning of future research and development programs. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must submit unclassified responses by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on November 23, 2026, via email to [email hidden]. Submissions must adhere to specific formatting guidelines, including a 12-point font and a structured layout consisting of a cover sheet, a five-page technical description, a two-page bibliography, and a one-page summary of prior research. Respondents are encouraged to include technical models, test data, and the current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of their technologies, while ensuring any proprietary information is clearly labeled.
