Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-159

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Proactive Health Office has issued solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-159 for the Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST) program. This initiative aims to transform the measurement and treatment of poor sleep, specifically insomnia, by developing objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies. The program focuses on detecting and responding to sleep microstructures in real time to improve long-term health outcomes, moving away from traditional macrostructure measures like sleep duration. The scope is divided into two technical areas: Measure and Diagnose (TA1), which focuses on in-home diagnostic systems using objective physiological signals, and Control and Treat (TA2), which focuses on noninvasive, adaptive intervention systems. The program is structured as a 66-month effort spanning three phases: proving the core technical thesis, demonstrating a proof-of-concept, and achieving clinical translation and commercialization. Awards will be granted via Other Transaction (OT) instruments, with payments tied to a quarterly milestone schedule. Evaluation is based on scientific merit, feasibility, innovation, and proposer capabilities, with specific success metrics tied to Polysomnography (PSG) fidelity and diagnostic accuracy. Proposers must submit a Solution Summary by August 12, 2026, and selected candidates will proceed to a full proposal process involving a technical pitch and detailed documentation. The final proposal deadline is October 13, 2026. Requirements include active SAM.gov registration, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for human subjects research, and a comprehensive FDA regulatory strategy.

RAPID (Robins Agile Practices for Infrastructure Development) at Robins AFB

Solicitation # RAPID-FY27

The Robins Agile Practices for Infrastructure Development (RAPID) program is an umbrella acquisition framework established by the 78th Civil Engineer Group at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. Operating under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. section 2808a, the program utilizes Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) to modernize base infrastructure and execute facility repair and construction projects. By bypassing traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and DFARS constraints, RAPID enables the Air Force to engage directly with commercial builders, including those with limited federal contracting experience, using flexible, commercial-style agreements. The framework remains active for one year, during which the government will publish project-specific Areas of Interest (AOIs) detailing requirements, response deadlines, and delivery models such as Progressive Design-Build or Build-Only. The program employs a streamlined three-phase evaluation process consisting of a Solution Brief (White Paper), an oral Pitch, and a Full Proposal. Awards may be granted through direct negotiation if a solution is uniquely advantageous or via a competitive bake-off between multiple merit-based respondents. Evaluation criteria are selected from a comprehensive menu for each AOI, covering areas such as constructability, schedule risk, site logistics, financial bonding, and DoD engineering compliance. Pricing structures are flexible, including Firm-Fixed-Price, Guaranteed Maximum Price, and cost-reimbursable equivalents. Interested vendors must maintain an active SAM.gov registration and Unique Entity ID to participate in upcoming project solicitations.

Notice of Intent to Award

Solicitation # A060703

The Air Force Test Center intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Charter Communications Operating LLC, doing business as Spectrum Internet, for the procurement of base-wide Internet Protocol Television and digital signal distribution services at Edwards Air Force Base. The contract is structured with a one-year base period and four subsequent one-year option periods. This acquisition is pursued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because Spectrum is currently the only commercial provider with an active Authority to Operate and an established physical Service Delivery Point on the installation. The decision to bypass competitive bidding is based on the fact that establishing new infrastructure or obtaining a new Authority to Operate for another vendor would cause unacceptable delays and a substantial duplication of costs. While this notice is not a request for proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements by September 22, 2026, provided they can demonstrate existing physical infrastructure capacity at Edwards Air Force Base and a current Authority to Operate.
