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.
