STATE OF THE ART (SOTA) MICROELECTRONICS (ME) ADOPTION BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) FULL TEXT GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Solicitation # 26S1358

The U.S. Department of the Air Force, through SAF/AQC, is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) numbered 26-S-1358 to advance the adoption of state-of-the-art microelectronics across national security missions. This BAA does not solicit proposals directly but serves as an umbrella framework for future Topic Calls published on SAM.gov and the Classified IC-ARC, which will define specific technical requirements, submission deadlines, and evaluation criteria. The initiative focuses on accelerating the development and integration of trusted, assured microelectronics technologies, particularly those leveraging Intel 18A process nodes and advanced packaging via Secure Enclave, to ensure enduring technological superiority. Five key mission areas are highlighted: advanced secure microelectronics design and production; next-generation assembly, packaging, and test; novel microelectronics for disruptive capabilities; advanced test, validation, and mission qualification; and building an accessible, affordable, and sustainable domestic microelectronics ecosystem. Topics range from AI/ML architectures and radiation-hardened designs to chiplet-based systems, secure test methodologies, edge computing, RF electronics, PNT resilience, digital twins, and open-standard chiplet libraries. Proposals or White Papers may only be submitted in response to individual Topic Calls, which may be either closed (with fixed deadlines) or open (accepting submissions continuously during a defined window), and may follow one-step or two-step processes. Awards, if made, will take the form of procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for prototyping, follow-on production, or experimental purposes, with eligibility open to small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, and research institutions. OTA awards require resource-sharing commitments and participation by nontraditional contractors, small businesses, or third-party funding. Proposals must not include classified information unless explicitly directed by a classified Topic Call, which may require SECRET or higher clearances and approved secure facilities. Data rights are anticipated to include Government Purpose Rights for technical data and software, with specific terms negotiated per call. All submissions must reference the BAA number 26-S-1358 and be aligned with the specified Areas of Interest in each Topic Call. Interested parties must actively monitor SAM.gov and IC-ARC for updates, as Topic Calls may be issued throughout the BAA’s open period—initially one year, extendable annually—and any associated costs for proposal development are considered indirect, not chargeable to resulting contracts.

ERIS Shopping Notice: High Duty Cycle High Energy Lasers (HEL) for SWaP-Constrained Systems

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-82

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Strategic Technologies Office is conducting an active search for innovative, awardable solutions for moderate power high energy lasers ranging from 100W to 20kW. These solutions must be designed for size, weight, and power constrained systems, such as Collaborative Combat Aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and armored personnel carriers. The primary technical objective is to maximize the duty cycle to allow for successive firing over long durations, specifically by overcoming heat exhaust and cooling challenges to maintain beam coherence and steady state operation. Required deliverables include engineering designs for novel cooling approaches, scalable system architectures, and technical documentation regarding wavelength flexibility and phase control for beam tuning. This shopping notice, identified as DARPA-SN-26-82, is open from June 4, 2026, to November 30, 2026. Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the government may make awards prior to the closing date. Interested parties must submit video solutions through the DARPAConnect ERIS Portal during the designated monthly collection periods and provide email notification to the Marketplace Coordinator. Evaluation is based on the proposer's understanding of the current state of the art, the technical leap provided by the innovation, the team's combined expertise in laser technology, and the potential impact on both defense and commercial applications.
