Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 Announcement
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-26-02
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research through the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) 2026 to advance the development of utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers and associated computational workflows, with a focus on revolutionary breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements. This initiative, issued under solicitation DARPA-PA-26-02, operates through a series of targeted Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Topics (QBITs), each defining specific research challenges, submission guidelines, and deadlines; proposals must respond exclusively to a published QBIT to be considered. The program is structured around three evaluation stages—assessing a plausible path to a United States Quantum Competitiveness (USQC) goal by 2033, evaluating the technical rigor and risk mitigation of the R&D plan, and verifying the concept’s validation through measurement and demonstration. Awards will be made under Other Transaction (OT) agreements, prioritizing technical merit and innovation through a trade-off analysis rather than lowest-price technically acceptable selection, and funding is expected to be distributed across multiple recipients from both traditional and non-traditional research communities. All participants must comply with stringent Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling protocols as mandated by DoDI 5200.48 and NIST SP 800-171, with documents requiring explicit CUI, Proprietary Business Information, and Export-Controlled markings on all materials and cover sheets, and secure transmission only through approved channels such as encrypted email or DoD SAFE. Contractors and performers must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity ID, maintain compliance with DFARS 252.204-7000 and 252.204-7012 for safeguarding defense information, and immediately report any unauthorized disclosures or cybersecurity incidents to the QBI Program Security Officer. Performance will be administered under the auspices of DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office in Arlington, Virginia, with invoicing conducted via the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and all technical data, budget, and source selection information designated as CUI with limited dissemination. Foreign persons may access CUI only under specific, pre-approved conditions tied to authorized DoD missions, and proprietary information must be marked and handled according to individual Other Transaction Agreements. The initiative sets a broad solicitation window through November 14, 2026, but individual QBIT deadlines and performance periods vary and are explicitly defined within

All submissions must be unclassified and adhere to strict data handling protocols defined by the QBI Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Guide, which mandates compliance with NIST SP 800-171, DFARS clauses, and export control regulations, including prohibitions on the use of covered telecommunications equipment from designated foreign entities. Proposals will be evaluated under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) framework, not traditional FAR-based contracting, and are subject to non-traditional terms tailored for research collaboration. The award mechanism will be structured as an Other Transaction Agreement with milestone-based payments tied to deliverables outlined in the attached Task Description Document, Schedule of Milestones and Payments, and Report Requirements. Performance is governed by agreements that include clauses addressing Organizational Conflict of Interest, requiring full disclosure of any prior or ongoing support to DARPA offices and a detailed mitigation plan if applicable. Contractors must also demonstrate the ability to securely handle CUI on compliant systems, report cyber incidents immediately, and restrict access to foreign persons in accordance with public law and export control restrictions. All participants are required to register in SAM, provide a Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and submit certifications regarding federal tax compliance and felony convictions. Invoicing must occur through the Wide Area Workflow system, and performance may be conducted at any location specified in the executed agreement, though no physical packaging or delivery requirements are imposed.
