Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST)
Solicitation # ARPA-H-SOL-26-159
The Restorative and health-Enhancing Sleep Time (REST) program, solicitation number ARPA-H-SOL-26-159, is an initiative by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Proactive Health Office to transform the measurement and treatment of poor sleep. The program seeks to develop objective, home-based, closed-loop technologies that detect and respond to health-relevant sleep microstructures in real time, moving beyond traditional macrostructure measures like sleep duration. The scope is divided into two technical areas: Measure and Diagnose (TA1), focusing on in-home systems for diagnosing poor sleep and insomnia using objective physiological signals, and Control and Treat (TA2), focusing on noninvasive systems that adapt interventions to a user's real-time physiology. The ultimate goal is to replace clinic-based polysomnography and subjective self-reporting with validated at-home diagnostics and precision control systems that improve insomnia treatment response and remission rates. This is a 66-month program organized into three phases: proving the core technical thesis, demonstrating a proof-of-concept, and achieving clinical translation and commercialization preparation. Awards will be issued as Other Transactions (OT) and will utilize a quarterly milestone payment schedule tied to technical deliverables. Evaluation is based on scientific merit, feasibility, innovation, and proposer capabilities, with a specific focus on achieving high fidelity to polysomnography and high accuracy in insomnia diagnostics. The submission process involves a multi-stage evaluation including solution summaries, full proposals, and oral pitches. Proposers must adhere to strict page limits across five volumes, including technical, cost, human/animal subjects research, team qualifications, and transition plans. Key requirements include securing Institutional Review Board approval for human research and developing a comprehensive FDA regulatory strategy.

The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds (ACC-APG) Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test & Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions (CFS) under Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002 for the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW) project. The primary objective is to modernize virtual training capabilities to deliver a certifiable Table II virtual collective gate for mounted maneuver at the section through company level, with the goal of scaling to the battalion level. Key operational priorities include achieving a doctrinal gate to live fire, creating a true combined arms environment, ensuring full mission command concurrency, and implementing an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs to prevent vendor lock-in. The total combined value for all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The procurement is structured into five capability lots: Lot 1 focuses on Common Core Software, Lot 2 on Simulation Application Software acting as an app marketplace, Lot 4 on Training Management and AAR capabilities, and Lot 5 as the Enterprise Integration Support. The Lot 5 integrator is specifically responsible for managing the Government-owned DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline and the System Integration Lab (SIL) in Orlando, Florida, and is strictly prohibited from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4 due to organizational conflict of interest rules. Evaluation is based on the speed to deliver Table II live-fire gating, velocity to initial operational capability for priority platforms like the M1A2 and AH-64, and adherence to a Modular Open Systems Approach. Solutions are due by September 29, 2026, at 1300 EDT, with anticipated awards for specific lots occurring in November 2026.
