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.

Solicitation # FA240126R0003
The Space Development Agency is soliciting proposals under solicitation FA240126R0003 for the Resilient Missile Warning Tracking Low Earth Orbit Ground Entry Points effort. This acquisition is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with a ceiling of 369 million dollars, covering the development, integration, test, operations, and maintenance of Tranche 3 Ground Entry Points at multiple globally dispersed locations. The scope of work encompasses civil engineering from detailed design through construction, the procurement and installation of communications shelters, antennas, optical terminals, and networking equipment, as well as the development of Ground Support Equipment and Auxiliary Development Units. The contract includes an ordering period from March 31, 2027, to September 30, 2031, with option periods extending through September 30, 2035. Award will be determined using a best value tradeoff process where technical, management, and past performance factors are combined and considered significantly more important than price. The technical evaluation focuses on the understanding of requirements, feasibility of approach, and scalability, while management is assessed based on project and schedule management, subcontractor oversight, and security handling. Proposals must be submitted in seven volumes via the DoD Secure Access File Exchange by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 23, 2026. Large business primes are required to meet a minimum quantitative requirement of 5 percent small business participation. The contract utilizes a mix of Firm Fixed Price for primary labor and materials and Cost Reimbursable arrangements for other direct costs and travel.

AFRL Enterprise CSO: Centralized Open Spiral
Solicitation # FA865226SC005
Solicitation FA865226SC005 is a Centralized, Open Two-Step Spiral issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) framework in accordance with R-DFARS 212.70. The government is seeking Commercial Solutions Brief (CSB) submissions for innovative solutions ranging from advanced component development to operational systems development, specifically limited to Foundational Technologies (AFRL/RE). This procurement follows a two-step process where only CSB submissions are currently requested; offerors must be categorized as Selectable during the Step One evaluation to be invited to Step Two, which involves the submission of a Commercial Solutions Proposal (CSP). The deadline for Step One CSB submissions is 5:00 PM Eastern on April 30, 2027. Submissions must align with the Areas of Interest identified in Attachment 1 of the AFRL Enterprise CSO and follow the formatting instructions in Section 7 and Attachment 2 of the main announcement. While there is no limit on the number of CSBs a single offeror may submit, each must present a unique approach. Submissions should be emailed to [email hidden], though those containing Controlled Unclassified Information must be transmitted via the DoD SAFE system. This spiral was noted as cancelled effective June 4, 2026, with future spirals transitioning to a decentralized model issued by respective Mission Organizations.
