FTA Broad Agency Announcement (FY26) -- “Research Initiatives in Support of Safety, Accessibility, and Mobility in Public Transportation
Solicitation # 693195-26-BAA-0001
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration, and Innovation has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) soliciting applied research projects to enhance the safety, reliability, efficiency, and accessibility of public transportation in the United States. This unrestricted solicitation is open to any responsible source, excluding Federal Government-owned businesses, and encourages teaming and collaboration. The program focuses on technology readiness levels 3 through 6, with a preference for proof-of-concept testing. Research topics include community connectivity, accessibility for automated vehicles, urban rail innovations, ferry safety, and transit safety data analytics. Individual awards typically range from $150,000 to $500,000, and while cost sharing is not mandatory, projects that include transit operator partnerships and cost sharing are preferred. The selection process follows a two-step approach requiring an initial concept paper and project quad chart, followed by a detailed technical and cost proposal if invited. Following Amendment 0002, the due date for submissions has been extended to November 6, 2026. Awards are anticipated as firm-fixed-price or level-of-effort term contracts, though cost-reimbursable contracts may be considered with justification. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process where technical merit and importance to agency programs are significantly more important than cost. Successful contractors must comply with strict reporting requirements, including a Data Management Plan, semi-annual Technology Transfer Reports, and a final technical report that is 100 percent Section 508 compliant. Administrative requirements include mandatory electronic invoicing via the DELPHI iSupplier system and adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for protecting controlled unclassified information.

Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program
Solicitation # 10292026-LR-27
The Department of Energy, in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has announced the Bolstering Underutilized Industry by Leveraging Technology Transfer (BUILTT) pilot program. This initiative, conducted by the Nevada National Security Sites, Y-12 National Security Complex, and Kansas City National Security Campus, aims to assist qualified U.S. small and medium-sized businesses in manufacturing low-volume, high-impact technologies developed by DOE/NNSA Labs, Plants, and Sites. These technologies, which include specialized optical imaging, radiation and chemical sensing systems, precision electrical components, and advanced materials, often have limited commercial markets but are critical for government mission requirements. Under the program, selected businesses may receive a Cost Reduction License (CRL) for a nominal fee, granting them the rights to produce specified technologies for sale to the DOE, NNSA, and other government customers at pre-negotiated prices. Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based SMBs, with preference given to those near participating sites or those with SBA 8(a) or HUBZone designations. Interested parties are evaluated based on their technical and manufacturing capabilities, financial capacity, and ability to meet regulatory and security requirements. Responses must be submitted to the Technology Partnerships and Intellectual Property Office by April 1, 2027, and are categorized under NAICS code 541715.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION – PACIFIC GREENFIELD INITIATIVE (ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL RESILIENCE OPPORTUNITY ON OAHU, HI)
Solicitation # RFI-PGI-20260929
The Department of the Navy is conducting a Request for Information under solicitation RFI-PGI-20260929 to gather industry feedback for the Pacific Greenfield initiative. This effort aims to establish an advanced manufacturing and industrial resilience campus on non-excess Navy property on Oahu, Hawaii, to reduce reliance on long-lead continental United States supply chains. The initiative focuses on creating theater-scale production capabilities for metals, composites, electronics, and large-format printing, bridging the gap between prototyping and industrial production of hundreds to thousands of units. Key priorities include the development of environmentally resilient, industrial-scale facilities integrated with modern utility infrastructure, grid-interactive storage, and circular resource-recovery solutions, while simultaneously strengthening the local Hawaii workforce through training pipelines and apprenticeships. The Navy is seeking input on site requirements, infrastructure needs, development timelines, and diverse acquisition and financing models, such as Enhanced Use Leases, Other Transaction Authorities, and joint ventures. A central technical goal is the implementation of a Born Qualified approach to digital engineering, utilizing in-situ process monitoring and digital workflows to ensure components meet naval and airworthiness standards at the point of production. This RFI is strictly for market research and planning purposes; it does not constitute a solicitation, does not commit the government to a contract, and will not result in payment for submitted information. Responses are due by 17:00 HST on November 10, 2026, and are limited to 20 pages.

**PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE** Forward Based Mode Radar Next Prototype
Solicitation # MDA26SNSPN04
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Mobile Land-Based Sensors Project Office is seeking innovative prototype concepts for the Forward-Based Mode (FBM) Radar Next. This effort, conducted under the Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Other Transaction Authority (OTA) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4022, aims to rapidly develop a highly mobile, rapidly deployable sensor system. The primary objective is to enhance the early warning, tracking, and discrimination of complex, high-speed, and maneuverable threats, including ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, while ensuring seamless integration into the existing Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) architecture. The prototyping process is structured into four phased cycles: Concept Development, Technology and Manufacturing Readiness and Extensibility, Subscale Prototype and Modeling and Simulation, and Full-Scale Prototype Development and Demonstration. Key technical requirements include C-17 military airlift and tactical ground vehicle compatibility, rapid setup and teardown capabilities, and a modular open-system architecture. Performance will be evaluated through a series of pass/fail gates focusing on hardware/software readiness, manufacturing feasibility, and operational utility. The government encourages collaborative teaming between prime contractors, non-traditional defense contractors, and small businesses, expecting a shared commitment through resource alignment or co-investment. All offerors must possess or obtain a Facility Security Clearance through the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency prior to the start of the first cycle. Performance will take place at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This notice serves as a pre-solicitation and does not constitute a formal request for proposal.
