Improved Mobile Electric Power Distribution System
Solicitation # PROJ00683
The Defense Innovation Unit is seeking a replacement for the aging Mobile Electric Power Distribution Systems used by the United States Marine Corps. The goal is to develop the Improved Mobile Electric Power Distribution System, a scalable and robust family of systems capable of distributing power from tactical generators and energy storage to critical mission command and combat operations centers in expeditionary environments. The project will follow a two-phased iterative prototyping process, beginning with initial design and MIL-STD compliance testing over six to twelve months, followed by a one to three month period of user evaluations with operational units. Technical requirements specify that the system must be backwards compatible, accept 120V and 208V 3-phase AC inputs, and provide outputs in 120VAC, 208V 3-phase AC, and 28V DC. Systems rated below 200 Amps must be person-portable, while those above 200 Amps must be skid-mounted for transport via standard equipment. This solicitation is open to U.S. and international vendors, with the potential for a follow-on production contract without further competition for successful prototype developers. Interested parties must submit a solution brief as a white paper or slide deck in accordance with the Commercial Solutions Opening process.

CLASS ACT
Solicitation # HQ084526SC002
The Classified Access to Address Critical Technology (CLASS ACT) program is a 36-month adaptive pilot initiative managed by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) under 10 U.S.C. section 4022. The program is designed to expand the pool of nontraditional defense contractors capable of competing for classified contracts by sponsoring selected entities for Top Secret Facility Clearances (FCL). This process allows commercial innovators to better understand classified challenges and threats to adapt their technology for Department of War needs. Participation may result in the award of Other Transaction (OT) for Prototype Project agreements, which may provide a minimum of 2,500 dollars, or bailment agreements that provide temporary access to classified spaces to facilitate the FCL application process. Eligible applicants must be nontraditional defense contractors who do not currently possess a facility clearance. For capability and technology proposals, requirements include a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 7, at least 10 million dollars in equity financing, annual revenues of at least 2 million dollars, and a lack of adversarial capital backing. Investor proposals are also accepted for those with a track record of average investments of 5 million dollars in national security-enabling companies. Submissions are required in the form of a five-page white paper and must include a CAGE code, SAM UEI, and certifications regarding SAM registration and nontraditional contractor status. Selected performers must adhere to the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual and provide detailed capitalization summaries to disclose foreign ownership, control, or influence.

Defense Innovation Unit Commercial Solutions Opening
Solicitation # HQ0845-20-S-C001
The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) is utilizing a streamlined Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to award funding agreements to traditional and nontraditional defense contractors for prototype projects. These projects aim to enhance military effectiveness and national security through the adoption of innovative commercial technologies, processes, or business practices. Awards are executed as Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2371b, allowing for an iterative prototyping process that includes concept demonstrations, pilots, and agile development. The procurement is administered by the DIU in coordination with the Washington Headquarters Service and the Army Contracting Command. The competitive process consists of three distinct phases: the submission of a Solution Brief in response to specific Areas of Interest (AOI), an invitation to a pitch session to demonstrate technical and business viability, and the submission of a full written proposal. Evaluation is based on the merit of the proposed concept, specifically focusing on relevance to the AOI, innovation, uniqueness, and technical feasibility. Eligible respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), possess a DUNS number, and be determined responsible by the Agreements Officer. While the government requires a total price proposal for the prototype project, the Agreements Officer will negotiate final terms, conditions, and payments directly with the selected company, including the potential consideration of company-proposed service or user license agreements.
