Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcements Department of War organization. Office-wide Broad Agency Announcements Office-wide Broad Agency Announcements Our primary vehicle for funding basic and applied R&D programs is the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). A program BAA defines an area of interest and specifies the type of award (contract, grant, or cooperative agreement).
BAAs are open to all proposers who can meet the agency’s needs. They do not guarantee an award will be made. All BAAs are posted to the federal government’s System for Award Management .
Each of our technical offices maintains a dedicated BAA to enable researchers to propose ideas that may fall outside our current priorities but have potential value to national security. To guide proposers, each office-wide BAA outlines the office’s current technical areas of interest. Office-wide BAAs are refreshed annually.
Get to know our current interests and priorities and pitch your best idea.

DPA26BZ06-DV023 is a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR paying $700,000 over 18 months plus a $500,000 option. The physics demands 256x more transmit power than the systems that qualify you to compete, and DARPA will not accept modeling alone as proof. Here is the eligibility wall, the five engineering problems, and who can realistically win it before the October 21 close.
Read articleRelease 6's SBIR topics got the attention. Its three STTR topics — SHIELDER, fuel-flexible electric propulsion, and hypersonic wind tunnel noise diagnostics — are all Direct-to-Phase-II, all require a research institution to perform at least 30 percent of the work, and all close October 21, 2026. The feasibility gates are the real filter.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV026 offers $300,000 at Phase I or $1,800,000 as a single Direct-to-Phase-II tranche with no options. The deliverable is a simulated auction market that measures whether AI agents deceive, collude, or manipulate the humans they serve — measured entirely from the outside. Here is the 90% efficiency gate, the team composition most bidders will get wrong, and why this topic sits in DARPA's biology office.
