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.

Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL) Facility
Solicitation # 80GRC026R0010
NASA Glenn Research Center is soliciting proposals under solicitation 80GRC026R0010 for a two-phase design-build project to establish the Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL) in Cleveland, Ohio. The project involves the design, procurement, and installation of an approximately 34,000 square foot facility featuring administrative spaces, laboratories, and a central high-bay test area. The facility must support hazardous test operations with specialized infrastructure, including high-capacity electrical power, cryogenic fluid storage, and cooling towers, while adhering to NPSR8820 design standards and achieving USGBC LEED Silver or Green Globes sustainability ratings. The total project value is estimated at 50 million dollars, with proposal guarantees and bonding requirements ranging from 45 million to 60 million dollars. The acquisition follows a competitive best value source selection process. Phase 1 focuses on technical qualifications, relevant experience, and technical approach, with up to three awardees receiving a 150,000 dollar stipend for conceptual design. Phase 2 will result in a final award for complete design and construction based on a tradeoff analysis of technical approach, price, and past performance. The anticipated period of performance is 1080 days. Proposals are due by October 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST and must be submitted as a single .zip file named after the company to the designated NASA EFSS Box URL. Offerors must notify the primary point of contact at least 48 hours before submission.

Intent to Sole Source - Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) Public Private Partnership (PPP)
Solicitation # 80GRC027R0003
NASA Glenn Research Center intends to award a sole source contract to KSAT Inc. under FAR 6.103-1 and FAR Part 12 to establish the Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) through a Public Private Partnership. This initiative aims to develop a global network of ground stations providing high-availability, direct-to-Earth communications and navigation for NASA's Artemis and Moonbase initiatives. The network will support spacecraft operating between 36,000 kilometers and 2 million kilometers from Earth using X-band and Ka-band frequencies. The project involves integrating two NASA-provided 20-meter antennas and establishing at least four additional sites to ensure full redundancy. The contract has a period of performance of five years from award, with a phased operational rollout requiring three operational sites by October 15, 2027, six antennas for full redundancy by October 15, 2028, and an enhanced configuration of nine antennas by October 2029. The contractor must adhere to strict technical standards, including SCaN-SRD Revision 7 and International Communication System Interoperability Standards, while maintaining an Integrated Master Schedule. Security requirements are rigorous, necessitating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information and obtaining an Authorization to Operate for systems within the NASA environment. Acceptance of deliverables is subject to NASA's written approval following Factory and Site Acceptance Testing.
