DARPA's Young Faculty Award seeks early-career researchers in academia and nonprofit labs to develop bold new technologies that could prevent technological surprise and strengthen national security. It's a chance for emerging scientists without prior DARPA funding to tackle transformative defense challenges.

DoD seeks a cooperative partner to administer the SMART Scholarship program, which funds STEM degrees critical to national security. Scholars commit to DoD civilian careers in defense R&D, manufacturing, and warfighter support roles.

Space Development Agency RFI seeking industry input on Tracking Layer Tranche 4 enhancements, including resilient missile warning/tracking payloads and on-orbit demonstrations for the PWSA. Classified addendum requires access request.

VA request for information on an enterprise point-of-care ultrasound PACS, seeking industry input on technology standardization. Full requirements are in attached RFI documents.

The Space Force is seeking prototypes to add oblique-sensing capability to its ground-based ionospheric sensor network, including integrating a new sounder, upgrading receive antennas, and testing cyber-resilient software patch delivery. The goal is higher-coverage, real-time ionospheric data to support space weather forecasts and satellite anomaly assessments.

The Department of Defense is requesting quotes for a large assortment of standard commercial hardware, including bolts, hose clamps, fittings, fasteners, wire, fuses, and rope clips. This is a routine small-business set-aside purchase of existing off-the-shelf products rather than a technology development effort.

The Army is seeking a small 10-inch FPV unmanned aerial system built on Orqa brand components, including a pilot controller and goggles. It supports the Army Materiel Command's Sprint 1 effort to field compact drone capability for tactical reconnaissance and training needs.

The Army is seeking new ICP-OES spectrometers and autosamplers for in-service oil analysis under ASTM D5185, for integration with existing lab data systems. It's a small-business set-aside requiring brand-name-or-equal products with CSV data export.

This Direct to Phase II opportunity seeks proven cyber defense technology for fog and edge computing devices that can autonomously detect and respond to attacks. Proposals must demonstrate a working prototype and scalable architecture capable of preventing or mitigating cyber threats across distributed edge-node environments.

The Army is seeking a survey-grade drone system with integrated controller, ground station, and wireless transmission, plus a pulse data processor with RTX licensing for geospatial data work. It's a small-business set-aside purchase of new equipment with a 2-year warranty.

Sources Sought for Industrial Control Technician and Industrial Technician services supporting facilities operations at Buckley Space Force Base. Requires Secret clearance. Services-based staffing and facilities maintenance work.

DARPA seeks autonomous systems capable of detecting casualties and chemical toxidromes in contaminated mass casualty environments where human responders face hazardous conditions. The technology must locate injuries, recommend triage priorities, and deliver initial treatments to improve survival rates when rapid medical response is critical.

This SBIR Phase II effort seeks a secure, modernized Technical Data Package system with encrypted visualization, configuration management, and AI-driven analytics to protect Air and Space Force mission-critical asset data while ensuring Zero Trust compliance and seamless lifecycle management across complex platforms.

The Army Corps of Engineers plans a sole-source purchase of a SIAM corporate membership, which provides electronic access to SIAM's applied mathematics journals for ERDC researchers. It is a subscription license for existing published content rather than a new technology development effort.

The Army is seeking a small business to supply 25 identical 11-inch Apple iPads, one Microsoft Surface notebook, and 25 matching tablet stands for general use. This is a standard commercial equipment purchase rather than new technology development.

The Department of War seeks a ground-based, affordable mass (G-BAM) precision payload delivery system using commercial technologies to provide cost-effective, high-volume alternatives to expensive hypersonic systems. This initiative addresses the need for sustained "magazine depth" capability against peer adversaries while maintaining operational affordability.

The Army seeks autonomous and minimally-manned ground and aerial systems for sustainment and recovery in contested environments where GPS and communications are degraded. Solutions must operate with minimal oversight across payload transport, power generation, refueling, and vehicle recovery to reduce soldier exposure and maintain mission continuity.

The Army is seeking 100 total units of 4140 steel mechanical tubing (7.0" OD x 2.0" wall, ASTM A519) in cut lengths of 2 to 10 feet, with certification documentation required. This is a standard commercial material procurement, open to small businesses on a brand-name-or-equal basis.
