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.

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.

Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # SP4701-27-S-C001
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has established a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) framework running from 2026 through October 1, 2031, to acquire innovative commercial technologies, products, and services. Operating under 10 U.S.C. 3458 and DFARS Subpart 212.70, the DLA will solicit Solution Briefs on a rolling basis in response to published Areas of Interest (AOIs) that describe specific capability gaps or technical challenges. All resulting awards must be fixed-price, and the government may utilize Other Transaction (OT) Agreements for prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. 4022 or FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial products and services. Successful prototype projects may lead to non-competitive follow-on production contracts. Interested offerors must submit an unclassified Solution Brief not exceeding eight pages, with an optional two-page narrative or five-slide executive summary. Submissions are evaluated based on technical feasibility, importance to agency programs, and viability, including cybersecurity compliance and alignment with federal policies. The process involves an initial conformance review and funding availability assessment, followed by technical evaluations by subject matter experts. Selected offerors may be invited to a pitch, requested to submit a full proposal, or moved directly to award negotiations. DLA provides no funding for the submission process, and all proposed pricing must remain valid for 180 days.
