Disruptioneering

Solicitation # disruptioneering

Disruptioneering is a rapid-acquisition initiative by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency designed to accelerate high-risk, high-payoff scientific research critical to national security and technological innovation. Managed by the Defense Sciences Office, these opportunities enable swift investigation into emerging scientific concepts with limited scope and focused objectives, ensuring that promising ideas can be validated and pursued without bureaucratic delay. Awards are issued within 120 days of publication, reflecting an urgent commitment to capitalize on scientific breakthroughs before their window of potential impact closes. The program emphasizes speed over scale, targeting small, high-risk efforts that could yield transformative outcomes in defense and security technologies. The process, known as disruptioneering, acts as a validation mechanism to evaluate nascent technologies before committing to larger-scale prototyping or development. It is intended to bridge the gap between early-stage scientific discovery and practical field-ready applications, removing traditional delays that hinder national security advancements. Solicitations remain open for one year, from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2026, and are open to all qualified performers without set-asides or restrictions. This initiative is not tied to specific NAICS codes or physical locations, allowing maximum flexibility in execution, and is fully managed under the Department of Defense through DARPA’s centralized program structure.
