Unison
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-27-06
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for Unison, a program focused on developing collaborative-autonomy approaches that jointly adapt team decision-making and communications during mission execution. The program aims to enable autonomous teams of tens to hundreds of agents to modify tactics, behaviors, and information exchange in dynamic, resource-constrained, and multi-domain environments. The core objective is to preserve mission performance while reducing communication dependence and the reasoning burden on individual agents. Key performance metrics include confirming and reporting ten personnel within six hours, maintaining location accuracy within 50 meters, and delivering actionable reports to a command center within 10 minutes when a route exists. This solicitation, numbered DARPA-PS-27-06, is for an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for Prototypes under 10 U.S.C. § 4022. Proposers must meet strict cybersecurity requirements, including CMMC Level 2 Self-Assessment and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2, as work is conducted at the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) level. The award process involves a multi-gate evaluation based on technical comprehension, ability, and approach, with final awards subject to favorable review and the availability of funds. Submissions require a comprehensive package including a Task Description Document, a schedule of milestones and payments, and a cost proposal using DARPA standard templates. All invoicing is managed through the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system.

Protein Palace
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-27-02
The Protein Palace program, solicitation DARPA-PA-27-02, is an Other Transaction agreement managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The program seeks to develop a universal, generalizable protein purification platform capable of rapidly isolating virtually any protein from complex feedstocks with high specificity, purity, and yield. The objective is to move beyond evolutionary improvements and instead utilize dynamic chemical and physical approaches to probe physicochemical variations, thereby breaking the traditional tradeoff between generalizability and specificity. The project is structured in two phases, with Phase 2 spanning from month 10 to month 42, featuring critical milestones such as the purification of DARPA-directed proteins within a one-week timeline and the development of a transition and commercialization plan. Proposals are evaluated primarily on overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the national security technology base, and the realism of the budget and schedule. Submissions must be made via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool, with abstracts due by December 4, 2026, and full proposals due by January 22, 2027. Required documentation includes technical and management volumes, a price volume, and a maximum of 20 oral presentation slides. Compliance requirements include adherence to FAR 9.5 regarding organizational conflicts of interest, DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information, and CMMC Level 1 or 2 self-certification. Financial administration is handled through the Wide Area Workflow system using a 2-in-1 invoice format, with payments processed by the Defense Agency Financial Services office.

Laguna Industry Day
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-18
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is hosting a virtual Industry Day on December 9, 2026, for the Laguna program under Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-18. The program's primary objective is to develop and demonstrate integrated manufacturing approaches that convert abundant domestic feedstocks, such as sugars, ethylene, and BTX, into application-ready specialty chemical formulations. By minimizing intermediate processing steps and separations, the initiative seeks to reduce reliance on vulnerable foreign supply chains. The anticipated 36-month effort is divided into two technical areas: Make and Formulate, which focuses on developing defense-relevant specialty products from U.S. raw materials, and Model, which aims to create predictive tools to optimize the relationship between feedstocks, synthesis, and final product performance. This notice is issued for information and program planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must register for the Industry Day event by December 2, 2026. The program requires that resulting products meet or exceed the performance of current military materials, with deliverables including technoeconomic analyses, life cycle assessments, and commercialization strategy plans. Technical and administrative inquiries are managed by Dr. William Mounfield and can be directed to [email hidden]. A draft program solicitation is expected to be released on sam.gov prior to the Industry Day event.
