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 articleExecutive Order 14421, signed August 26 and published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2026, prohibits acquisition or installation of covered foreign-produced bulk-power equipment — and applies notwithstanding any contract signed beforehand.
