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.

Protein Palace Proposers Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is initiating the Protein Palace program to develop a universal, tunable protein purification platform. This initiative aims to replace the traditional lock-and-key paradigm with a system capable of purifying multiple proteins from a single system by leveraging unique physicochemical characteristics to improve biomanufacturing specificity, generalizability, and scalability. The program is structured into two distinct phases: a 24-month Phase 1 focused on proving the feasibility of specificity and generalizability by separating eight different proteins, followed by an 18-month Phase 2 focused on scalability and throughput, which requires demonstrating the platform on two additional proteins that are difficult to purify using current state-of-the-art methods. To support this effort, DARPA is hosting an in-person Proposers Day on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia. This event is unclassified, and all attendees must provide government-issued photo identification. While the current Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-01 and its subsequent amendment serve as information and planning tools rather than a formal solicitation, DARPA anticipates releasing the full solicitation on sam.gov prior to the event. Interested parties must meet the registration deadline of November 9, 2026, to attend the session.

Solid-State Energy Conversion from Heat to Electricity Request for Information (RFI)
Solicitation # DARPA-SS-27-01
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is issuing Request for Information (RFI) DARPA-SS-27-01 to explore the current state of the art and technological limitations of solid-state direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion. This initiative focuses on systems that convert temperature differentials into electrical energy without the use of mechanical moving parts, such as turbines or pistons. The primary objective is to gather quantitative data on performance across various operating temperatures, identify limiting factors, and determine the most viable use cases to inform the planning of future research and development programs. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must submit unclassified responses by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on November 23, 2026, via email to [email hidden]. Submissions must adhere to specific formatting guidelines, including a 12-point font and a structured layout consisting of a cover sheet, a five-page technical description, a two-page bibliography, and a one-page summary of prior research. Respondents are encouraged to include technical models, test data, and the current Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of their technologies, while ensuring any proprietary information is clearly labeled.
