DARPA Tactical Technology Office BAA is a broad agency announcement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that invites proposals for innovative research and technology development that fall outside the scope of currently active program-specific solicitations. Open to all responsible sources, the BAA is posted to SAM. gov and refreshed annually with a deadline of June 2026.
All DARPA technical offices maintain their own dedicated BAAs to capture cutting-edge ideas at every stage of development. This office-wide mechanism is intended for proposals that do not fit neatly into existing programs, making it an important entry point for novel concepts in defense-relevant science and engineering that could eventually shape future DARPA programs.
