ENTERPRISE PROTOTYPE INITIATIVE CONSORTIUM (EPIC)The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting whitepapers for the Enterprise Prototype Initiative Consortium (EPIC), an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for a Prototype Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) authorized under 10 U.S.C. §4022. The purpose is to identify qualified offerors capable of rapidly prototyping and testing technologies across technology areas relevant to the Air Force, accelerating the development and integration of defense systems while reducing costs. This is not a contract solicitation at this stage; only whitepapers are being accepted, and successful submitters will be invited later to submit full proposals. The resulting OTA will serve as an overarching IDV with no ceiling on total value, allowing for multiple Firm-Fixed Price Project Level Orders (PLOs) to be issued over a 120-month ordering period, with performance extending up to 24 months beyond that. Each PLO may result in deliverables such as software, hardware, or technical data, and follow-on production contracts or OTs may be considered on a project-by-project basis, contingent on successful performance. Whitepapers must not exceed ten pages and must be submitted electronically by 12:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time on August 12, 2026, to specified government email addresses. Proposals are evaluated based on alignment with the Statement of Work and other criteria outlined in the solicitation attachments. The agreement is closed to foreign participation at both the lead and project performer levels, and all participants must be U.S.-based entities. Companies with Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) that have been mitigated may request eligibility verification. Offerors must maintain an accounting system capable of tracking government funds despite the fixed-price nature of awards. Engineering Change Proposals are permitted during PLO performance, and all submissions are voluntary with no guarantee of payment or award. The acquisition is performance-based, and participation requires compliance with the Other Transactions Guide, applicable law, and policy, with awards potentially supporting classified work up to TS/SCI level under appropriate security agreements.

Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 AnnouncementThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research through the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 to advance the development of utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers and associated computational workflows, with a focus on revolutionary breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements. This initiative, issued under solicitation DARPA-PA-26-02, operates through a series of targeted Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topics (QBITs), each defining specific research challenges, submission guidelines, and deadlines; proposals must respond exclusively to a published QBIT to be considered. The program is structured around three evaluation stages—assessing a plausible path to a United States Quantum Competitiveness (USQC) goal by 2033, evaluating the technical rigor and risk mitigation of the R&D plan, and verifying the concept’s validation through measurement and demonstration. Awards will be made under Other Transaction (OT) agreements, prioritizing technical merit and innovation through a trade-off analysis rather than lowest-price technically acceptable selection, and funding is expected to be distributed across multiple recipients from both traditional and non-traditional research communities. All participants must comply with stringent Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling protocols as mandated by DoDI 5200.48 and NIST SP 800-171, with documents requiring explicit CUI, Proprietary Business Information, and Export-Controlled markings on all materials and cover sheets, and secure transmission only through approved channels such as encrypted email or DoD SAFE. Contractors and performers must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity ID, maintain compliance with DFARS 252.204-7000 and 252.204-7012 for safeguarding defense information, and immediately report any unauthorized disclosures or cybersecurity incidents to the QBI Program Security Officer. Performance will be administered under the auspices of DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office in Arlington, Virginia, with invoicing conducted via the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and all technical data, budget, and source selection information designated as CUI with limited dissemination. Foreign persons may access CUI only under specific, pre-approved conditions tied to authorized DoD missions, and proprietary information must be marked and handled according to individual Other Transaction Agreements. The initiative sets a broad solicitation window through November 14, 2026, but individual QBIT deadlines and performance periods vary and are explicitly defined within

Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topic (QBIT) Stage AThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals under the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topic (QBIT) Stage A, identified by solicitation number DARPA-PA-26-02-02, to advance the design, engineering, testing, and evaluation of utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers and associated computational workflows. This initiative aims to foster revolutionary breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements to the current state of quantum computing, with a strong emphasis on attracting new entrants to the field and expanding the breadth of potential solutions. Proposals must be submitted as abstracts through the DARPA BAA portal by November 30, 2026, following strict formatting guidelines outlined in the mandatory QBIT Stage A Abstract Template, which requires detailed sections on the proposed approach, technology challenges, technical capability, and a roadmap for development. The program follows a multi-stage structure, with Stage A focused on developing a system concept report over a six-month period, leading to potential progression to later stages with increased funding and scope. All submissions must be unclassified and adhere to strict data handling protocols defined by the QBI Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Guide, which mandates compliance with NIST SP 800-171, DFARS clauses, and export control regulations, including prohibitions on the use of covered telecommunications equipment from designated foreign entities. Proposals will be evaluated under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) framework, not traditional FAR-based contracting, and are subject to non-traditional terms tailored for research collaboration. The award mechanism will be structured as an Other Transaction Agreement with milestone-based payments tied to deliverables outlined in the attached Task Description Document, Schedule of Milestones and Payments, and Report Requirements. Performance is governed by agreements that include clauses addressing Organizational Conflict of Interest, requiring full disclosure of any prior or ongoing support to DARPA offices and a detailed mitigation plan if applicable. Contractors must also demonstrate the ability to securely handle CUI on compliant systems, report cyber incidents immediately, and restrict access to foreign persons in accordance with public law and export control restrictions. All participants are required to register in SAM, provide a Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and submit certifications regarding federal tax compliance and felony convictions. Invoicing must occur through the Wide Area Workflow system, and performance may be conducted at any location specified in the executed agreement, though no physical packaging or delivery requirements are imposed. DARPA retains discretion over award decisions through a trade-off process focused on technical merit, mission
