NASA Langley Research Center issued RFI LARC-RFI-2026/2027 requesting expressions of interest to lease and develop roughly 325 developable acres (plus restricted acreage) to establish the NASA Langley Aerospace Innovation District Hub. The RFI seeks mission-aligned partners (commercial developers, industry anchors, academic institutions) to enter Enhanced Use Leases or NHPA leases for uses including aerospace R&D, testing, payload processing, autonomous systems, renewable energy, or visitor housing. Initial expressions of interest are requested by July 31, 2026 (to facilitate an Industry Day), with final RFI responses due by June 30, 2027; Michael Bauman (hq-realestate@mail.nasa.gov) is listed as the contact.

NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command) issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) soliciting white papers and later proposals for research and development of shipboard electric power and energy systems across areas like energy storage, power conversion, distribution, prime movers, rotating machines, thermal management, and power controls. Submissions are white papers by email to the listed NAVSEA technical POC; awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transaction agreements. The announcement is active (not a grant), has been updated multiple times, and the current offers due date is Feb 6, 2028.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office is soliciting innovative and disruptive technology proposals across multiple research areas (e.g., acoustic communication and sensing, advanced computing, additive manufacturing, AI, autonomy, and systems engineering). Proposers must submit an abstract prior to a full proposal; abstracts will be evaluated on scientific/technical merit, relevance to DARPAs mission, and price realism. The opportunity is intended to fund proof-of-concept mission systems and related research projects with estimated budgets in the range of $500,000 to $5,000,000.

Extramural biomedical and human performance research and development.

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the U.S. Army DEVCOM Soldier Center identifies scientific and technical areas of interest for basic and applied research to enhance soldier performance, protection, and survivability. The BAA covers multiple research areas including Combat Feeding, Soldier Protection, Modeling & Simulation, Human Performance, and Ecological Approach to Warfighter Survivability (Perception-Action-Cognition). Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis through February 27, 2030, and the government may award contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions against this BAA.

Provide a brief statement of what the government expects to accomplish under the contract-the breadth and limitations of the contract effort. It should not include specific work tasks or a description of deliverable products. Tasks: sometimes identified as requirements or work requirements , this section defines the specific tasks that the contractor must complete during contract performance and should describe requirements in terms of results required rather than the methods for completing the work. The specific tasks must provide the specific performance attributes that define success, such as minimum performance thresholds, form/fit/function characteristics, quality control requirements and/or other objective measurements defining successful task performance. Other items to consider include but are not limited to: Specify requirements clearly so that all readers can understand them. Reference only the absolute minimum applicable specifications and standards needed. Tailor specifications and other documents. See attached file.

Extramural biomedical and human performance research and development.

Obtaining, testing, and evaluating technologies and/or materials with potential application as overt, visual authentication features for public usage on future generations of u. S. Currency. Technologies offered should provide effective counterfeit deterrence against all types of threats including traditional printing, digital reproduction, as well as resisting simulation by commercially available materials.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technology Office (BTO) seeks input from the scientific and technical community regarding the current state of autonomous science, particularly in biological domains, and on opportunities for investment to advance the field in service to national security and public benefit.

Proposed features may become distinctive counterfeit deterrents incorporated into the banknote or applied to the notes. An effective hidden machine-readable feature should be: 1. difficult to discover on a banknote even by subject matter experts. 2. difficult to elucidate the functionality or detection mechanism of the feature. 3. readable by a highly discriminating standalone detection system. 4. resistant to simulation or duplication, both in terms of material and response. See attached file.

This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) focusing on Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation. It is issued under FAR 6.102(d)(2) and FAR 35.016. The announcement remains open for one year and will be advertised annually.

A synopsis solicitation numbered HDTRA126Q0021 was reported on 2026-06-30 for the Defense Threat Reduction Information Analysis Center (DTRIAC). The solicitation is issued by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and appears related to DTRIAC support/operations, but the buyer-managed original posting and any solicitation attachments were not located in the captured official sources. No solicitation PDF, solicited attachments, or an official offers-due date were found in the available buyer-managed (DTRA/.mil), PIEE, or SAM.gov records.

The Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program is a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) sponsored R&D program seeking innovative solutions to improve DLA and DoD logistics processes, including digital engineering, artificial intelligence, and automated systems. It solicits short-term research and development projects to develop and demonstrate capabilities across DLA Major Subordinate Commands and HQ process owners. The solicitation (SP470124B0001) is posted on SAM.gov and is active with proposals due Aug 27, 2029; primary contact is Emily Linico (Emily.Linico@dla.mil).
