Notice of Intent To Award Sole Source WHOI REMUS Support
Solicitation # N6660427RB700
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport intends to award a sole-source, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This agreement utilizes Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Cost Only structures to provide research, development, engineering, and technical services for the Navy Remote Environmental Measuring Units autonomous undersea vehicle systems and advanced undersea communication subsystems. The scope of work involves the evaluation, modernization, and deployment of system hardware, firmware, and software across various submarine and surface ship classes, with an estimated requirement of 113,000 man-hours over a five-year ordering period. The decision to utilize a sole-source award is based on the fact that the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the original developer and proprietor of the core technologies and proprietary source code for the REMUS 600 and 3000 platforms. This includes specialized NSA-approved encryption software essential for maintaining Navy Authority to Operate compliance. The government has determined that awarding this contract to another entity would be technically infeasible and cost-prohibitive, potentially causing a mission gap of three to five years due to the need for redesign and recertification. The solicitation is anticipated for release in December 2026.

Solicitation # HQ003427AOI5
The Department of War Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation CAPE is seeking innovative commercial solutions to replace its legacy modeling and simulation infrastructure with a next-generation computational backbone. The objective is to modernize decision support by implementing a three-layer architecture consisting of a high-performance simulation execution layer, a machine-learned surrogate emulation layer for government-developed models, and an intuitive self-service quantitative analysis layer. This system must dramatically increase throughput, with the capability to execute between 1,200 simulations in 10 hours for light cases and up to 150,000 simulations within two weeks for heavy joint campaign cases. The required solution must operate at Impact Level 6 security accreditation to be accessible from secure spaces at the Pentagon and Mark Center, supporting network throughput between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. Technical requirements include compatibility with Python, R, Java, PyTorch, GAMS, and containerized processes. While the commercial provider will manage turnkey platform and infrastructure IT operations, including cybersecurity hardening and patching, the government will retain full operational tenant administration and control over data and user access. This procurement is being conducted as a Commercial Solutions Opening with a Rough Order of Magnitude estimate between 3 million and 22 million dollars. Phase I evaluations focus on the relevance of the solution brief, specifically regarding technical ability, scalability, and security posture. Initial operational capability is anticipated in FY27, with full operational capability expected in FY28. Solution briefs are due by November 16, 2026.

Hyperdimensional Neurosymbolic Cyber Course-of-Action Planning and Replanning under Deception
Solicitation # DPA27BZ02-DV001
Solicitation DPA27BZ02-DV001 is a Phase I SBIR effort managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a prototype for Hyperdimensional Neurosymbolic Cyber Course-of-Action (COA) Planning and Replanning under Deception. The project addresses the need for cyber planning tools that can operate in contested environments where observations are incomplete or manipulated. The goal is to move beyond static checklists and rule-based playbooks toward a system using hyperdimensional, vector-symbolic, or neurosymbolic reasoning to maintain explicit, inspectable internal representations of objectives, dependencies, and adversary reactions. This technology must support the generation and comparison of multiple feasible COAs and enable rapid replanning when evidence is contradictory or deceptive, specifically for use in resource-constrained or distributed mission networks. The contract is a total small business set-aside with a base award of 1,300,000 dollars for an 18-month period, with an additional 500,000 dollar option for 6 months. Key deliverables include a prototype v1 by month 6 and an interim demonstration of rapid replanning by month 9, culminating in a final demonstration and report by month 18. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, investigator qualifications, and commercial potential. Compliance requirements include Level 2 CMMC certification for those handling controlled unclassified information and adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information. Proposals must be submitted via the DSIP portal and include technical, cost, and commercialization volumes.

Solicitation # DPA27BZ02-DV003
The Human Universal Remote solicitation (DPA27BZ02-DV003) is a Phase I SBIR effort issued by DARPA and set aside for total small business participation. The project aims to enhance warfighter operational capabilities by integrating surface electromyography (sEMG) with other non-invasive sensing modalities, such as ultrasound, to detect neuromuscular activity. The scope is divided into two parallel technical areas: Technical Area 1 focuses on the non-invasive capture and extraction of biopotential signals from the skin to serve as both arm control commands and biological sensors for warfighter stress. Technical Area 2 focuses on translating these physiological signals into platform-agnostic output modalities, utilizing radiofrequency channels to trigger actionable commands for systems like robotic platforms, ISR drones, and the Team Awareness Kit (TAK). The contract requires the development of a system capable of structured reasoning over asynchronous multi-source evidence, utilizing architectures such as neuro-symbolic or graph-based reasoning while incorporating operational cost terms like power and latency. Key deliverables include a consolidated technical report with quantitative metrics, a risk register, and a Phase II transition plan. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, innovation, and the qualifications of key personnel, with a specific emphasis on the ability to commercialize results. Award selection is based on a selectable versus non-selectable determination, where strengths must outweigh weaknesses. Performance must be demonstrated under conditions of at least 20 percent missing or delayed inputs, and firms handling controlled unclassified information must possess Level 2 CMMC certification.
