Solicitation # DARPA-PS-27-06

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office is soliciting proposals for Unison, a program focused on developing collaborative-autonomy approaches that jointly adapt team decision-making and communications during mission execution. The program aims to enable autonomous teams of tens to hundreds of agents to modify tactics, behaviors, and information exchange as mission complexity increases or communications become degraded. This effort is divided into two Technical Areas: Joint Co-adaptation (TA-1) and Modeling and Simulation Environment (TA-2). The core objective is to preserve mission performance while reducing communication dependence and the reasoning burden on individual agents in dynamic, resource-constrained environments. This procurement is conducted via an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for Prototypes under 10 U.S.C. 4022. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DoD Instruction 5200.48 for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Awards will be based on technical approach, relevant qualifications in autonomy and communications, budget realism, and the extent of government data rights. Performance is measured through a milestone-based approach with specific exit criteria, including computational tractability and repeatability. Proposals must be submitted as encrypted zip files in LaTeX format to the BAA Coordinator by the specified deadline.

Prototype development for Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment (BWI P&T) Barrier Combination

Solicitation # HT9427-26-R-E020

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is seeking proposals for the development of a Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment Barrier Combination prototype. This medical countermeasure must integrate a physical wound barrier with antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent systemic infections in combat scenarios. The project aims to advance the technology from a preferred starting point of Technology Readiness Level 5 to TRL 8, culminating in a product that has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval or clearance. The scope of work includes preclinical testing, human clinical trials, and the submission of regulatory packages such as New Drug Applications or Premarket Approval Applications. This effort is being conducted under prototype Other Transaction Authority 10 U.S.C. 4022, meaning it does not follow standard FAR-based procurement processes. The government prefers a Firm Fixed Price agreement, though Cost Plus Fixed Fee is acceptable. The estimated period of performance is 48 months, divided into prototype demonstration, clinical studies and regulatory submissions, and final FDA review. To be eligible, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and demonstrate participation by nontraditional defense contractors or non-profit research institutes, or provide a significant cost share. Proposals are due by November 20, 2026, and will be evaluated based on the proposer's demonstrated ability to successfully develop and deliver the prototype.

Request for Information (RFI) for a Cislunar Space System (CSS)

Solicitation # 10302026-01

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research via a Request for Information to inform the acquisition strategy for a Cislunar Space System (CSS). The program seeks a rapid, low-risk solution to develop and field up to five space vehicles (SVs) designed to operate throughout cislunar space, including Earth-Moon transfers and libration point orbits. These seed vehicles will support government-provided payloads and serve as a foundation for a potential future proliferated cislunar constellation. The required system must encompass a space segment with compact bus designs, a ground segment for mission management and command and control, a communication segment supporting responsive tasking, and integration with a government-provided National Security Space Launch booster. Key technical objectives include a payload capacity of up to 2,000 kg, a design life of three to five years, and power requirements ranging from a 1 kW threshold to a 3 kW objective. The system must also implement NSA Type-I encryption and decryption for cybersecurity. The notional schedule targets an Authority to Proceed for preliminary design work in the second quarter of FY27, with initial launch capability by late CY29 and operational initial on-orbit capability by CY31. Following the review of industry capabilities and rough order of magnitude cost estimates, the government intends to award up to five Firm Fixed Price preliminary design study contracts.
