TTO Office Wide (OW) BAA 2025

The DARPA Tactical Technology Office (TTO) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) titled "TTO Office Wide (OW) BAA 2025" with solicitation number HR001125S0011, posted on June 23, 2025, and with a proposal response deadline of December 22, 2026. The solicitation seeks innovative executive summaries and full proposals that aim to significantly enhance national security capabilities by introducing revolutionary platforms and systems incorporating breakthrough technologies. The core areas of interest include Design/Build/Buy, Surge and Sustain, Long Range Effects, and Disruptive Innovation. The focus is on disruptive advancements rather than incremental improvements, emphasizing the ability to rapidly develop, adapt, and sustain force structures with scalable and cost-efficient designs. DARPA anticipates awarding multiple contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions, with evaluation criteria centered on scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, and cost realism. Proposal preparation involves strict formatting, submission, and content guidelines to ensure clarity and consistent evaluation. Executive summaries are limited to two pages, must articulate innovation, technical basis, and military impact, and are submitted through a dedicated Broad Agency Announcement tool rather than Grants.gov. Full proposals require detailed technical and management plans alongside comprehensive cost volumes prepared using DARPA’s standardized cost proposal spreadsheet, emphasizing transparency and traceability between prime contractors and sub-awardees. Special instructions are provided for handling classified submissions to safeguard sensitive information. The BAA has undergone amendments refining submission processes and evaluation criteria, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to acquiring revolutionary technology solutions that can be responsively manufactured and deployed to maintain and advance national defense advantages.
