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.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy and Brookhaven National Laboratory, has issued a Request for Information (RFI-479547) to explore industry capabilities for the development of a hybrid microchannel plate photomultiplier tube utilizing a diamond transmission dynode, in support of LDRD-26-055. This RFI is strictly for market research and acquisition planning and does not constitute a solicitation, nor does it obligate the government to award a contract or reimburse respondents for preparation costs. The agency seeks organizations with proven expertise in the procurement, precision thickness reduction via laser processing or reactive ion etching, and negative electron affinity surface treatment of diamond films, as well as the characterization of these materials, particularly through secondary electron yield measurements. Respondents must demonstrate direct experience with NEA activation on diamond or similar materials and provide a brief statement of capabilities outlining their relevant technical proficiency. Work will involve producing two processed, NEA-treated thin diamond samples accompanied by a technical summary report with SEY data, to be performed in vendor facilities coordinated with Brookhaven National Laboratory. All activities must comply with accepted laboratory safety practices, quality assurance procedures, and institutional standards, and are subject to U.S. Department of Commerce EAR99 export controls. The deadline for submissions is July 6, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and responses must be emailed to [email hidden] with the subject line “BSA RFI-479547.” The solicitation, which falls under NAICS code 541715, is not subject to any set-aside provisions and is intended to inform future procurement decisions rather than initiate them.
