Unison
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-27-06
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office 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 as mission complexity increases or communications become degraded. This effort is divided into two Technical Areas: Joint Co-adaptation (TA-1) and Modeling and Simulation Environment (TA-2). The core objective is to preserve mission performance while reducing communication dependence and the reasoning burden on individual agents in dynamic, resource-constrained environments. This procurement is conducted via an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for Prototypes under 10 U.S.C. 4022. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DoD Instruction 5200.48 for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Awards will be based on technical approach, relevant qualifications in autonomy and communications, budget realism, and the extent of government data rights. Performance is measured through a milestone-based approach with specific exit criteria, including computational tractability and repeatability. Proposals must be submitted as encrypted zip files in LaTeX format to the BAA Coordinator by the specified deadline.

Prototype development for Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment (BWI P&T) Barrier Combination
Solicitation # HT9427-26-R-E020
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is seeking proposals for the development of a Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment Barrier Combination prototype. This medical countermeasure must integrate a physical wound barrier with antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent systemic infections in combat scenarios. The project aims to advance the technology from a preferred starting point of Technology Readiness Level 5 to TRL 8, culminating in a product that has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval or clearance. The scope of work includes preclinical testing, human clinical trials, and the submission of regulatory packages such as New Drug Applications or Premarket Approval Applications. This effort is being conducted under prototype Other Transaction Authority 10 U.S.C. 4022, meaning it does not follow standard FAR-based procurement processes. The government prefers a Firm Fixed Price agreement, though Cost Plus Fixed Fee is acceptable. The estimated period of performance is 48 months, divided into prototype demonstration, clinical studies and regulatory submissions, and final FDA review. To be eligible, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and demonstrate participation by nontraditional defense contractors or non-profit research institutes, or provide a significant cost share. Proposals are due by November 20, 2026, and will be evaluated based on the proposer's demonstrated ability to successfully develop and deliver the prototype.
