Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

The contract seeks the design and validation of advanced optical systems capable of delivering 360-degree illumination visible up to five miles, with independent control capabilities for forward work lighting and ambient or emergency lighting arrays. This requires precise engineering to ensure uniform, long-range visibility while maintaining operational flexibility in diverse environmental conditions, particularly for mission-critical applications. The system must be validated through rigorous testing to confirm performance thresholds under real-world constraints, including durability, energy efficiency, and reliability in extreme conditions. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside subcontract under NAICS code 541715, issued by the Department of Defense through the FA4610 30 Cons Pk office, with performance required in Lompoc, California, ZIP 93437. The solicitation was posted on May 1, 2026, and responses are due by May 14, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Only small businesses are eligible to respond, and the award will likely support defense-related illumination systems where visibility, safety, and operational readiness are paramount.
