The Solutions Marketplace is IARPA's attempt to remove the single biggest barrier between a small AI company and the intelligence community: the multi-month proposal burden required before anyone in government even sees what you built. Instead of a written proposal against a specific BAA topic, innovators submit a five-minute unclassified video pitch and basic supporting information through an online portal.
Submissions are reviewed by subject matter experts drawn from the IC, industry and academia; those judged awardable are tagged by strategic focus area and made visible to authorized government users across the community, who can then pursue the technology through their own acquisition vehicles.
The mechanics matter for planning: the call is open on a rolling basis from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with assessments conducted monthly, so there is no single deadline to hit and a company can time a submission to when its capability is demonstrable rather than when a solicitation happens to open.
Eligibility is deliberately wide - open to all U.S.-based companies traditional and nontraditional, large and small business, new entrants, universities, nonprofits and individuals - which makes it one of the lowest-friction federal entry points for an AI startup with no prior government past performance. The important caveat is what the Marketplace is not.
It is not itself a grant or a funded award; being tagged awardable creates visibility and a rapid acquisition pathway, not money. Companies should treat a submission as business development into the IC with an unusually cheap cost of entry, and should be prepared for the follow-on contracting effort with whichever IC element expresses interest. Submissions go through iarpamarketplace.
us, with program information at iarpa. gov/marketplace, and IARPA posted a corresponding solicitation notice on SAM. gov. Submitted material must be unclassified.

No prior government contracting experience or past performance is required, which makes this an accessible entry point for AI startups. Submissions consist of a short unclassified video pitch of approximately five minutes plus basic supporting information, filed through the online portal at iarpamarketplace.us; program information is posted at iarpa.gov/marketplace and IARPA published a corresponding solicitation notice on SAM.gov. All submitted material must be unclassified. The call is open on a rolling basis from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with submissions assessed in monthly cycles, so there is no single proposal deadline. Submissions are evaluated by subject matter experts drawn from the intelligence community, industry and academia; those deemed awardable are tagged by strategic focus area and made discoverable to authorized government users who may pursue the technology through their own contract, prototype Other Transaction or program vehicles. The Marketplace itself is an assessment and matchmaking pathway rather than a grant program, so IARPA does not publish an award ceiling or floor; funding, if any, comes from the sponsoring government element that selects a solution. AI-relevant submissions span machine learning, computer vision, natural language and multilingual processing, forecasting and anticipatory intelligence, and trustworthy and explainable AI for analytic workflows. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

The ONR Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (N00014-25-S-B001) is the Office of Naval Research's primary mechanism for soliciting research proposals across all naval science and technology priority areas. The BAA accepts proposals on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026 and covers ONR's full spectrum of research interests with particular emphasis on AI-related topics including autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, machine learning for sensor fusion, cooperative autonomous swarm technology, undersea autonomy, and AI-enabled decision superiority. Proposals can be funded through multiple mechanisms including individual investigator grants, the Young Investigator Program (~$510K over 3 years for early-career faculty), and Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awards ($1.5M/year for 3-5 years for research teams). ONR recommends contacting relevant program officers before submitting to discuss alignment with current research priorities. The BAA supports basic research (6.1), applied research (6.2), and advanced technology development (6.3) across the full range of naval-relevant science and engineering disciplines.
PRIMED-AI is a new NIH Common Fund programme, Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data, which combines medical imaging with other health data to build AI-powered clinical decision support tools for personalised medicine. This opportunity, RFA-RM-27-014, funds the programme's Validation Center: a dedicated hub that independently evaluates and characterises the AI-enabled, image-based multimodal clinical decision support tools developed elsewhere in the consortium. The structural logic matters for applicants. NIH has separated tool-building from tool-validation and is paying separately for the second, which signals institutional recognition that self-reported performance claims from developing teams are not sufficient evidence for clinical AI. The Center's remit covers verification, validation, interoperability and uncertainty quantification, so the deliverable is a reproducible evaluation capability rather than a set of papers. It operates as a U54 cooperative agreement, meaning NIH staff are substantively involved and the Center must work in concert with the PRIMED-AI Logistics Center and the Data-to-Model and Model-to-Clinic award recipients. The RFA was released on 30 June 2026 with applications due 2 October 2026. For academic groups that have built credible AI evaluation methodology, particularly in radiology, imaging informatics or biostatistics, this is an unusually direct route to becoming the reference evaluator for a major federal AI health programme, and the position carries influence over how clinical AI performance gets measured well beyond the life of the award.
RFA-RM-27-015 funds a single Logistics Center as the coordinating hub of the NIH Common Fund's PRIMED-AI program, Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data. The award is a cooperative agreement, meaning substantial NIH scientific and programmatic involvement is built in rather than incidental, and it is administered by NIBIB on behalf of the Common Fund. The Center operates through three integrated cores: Administration, which runs the steering committees and develops consortium policies; Evaluation, which assesses progress across the funded portfolio; and Outreach, which maintains a web portal for sharing AI-based clinical decision support tools and facilitates engagement between researchers, clinicians and patient communities. The strategic point for applicants is that this is the only coordinating award in a multi-award program whose other components, the Data-to-Model Academic-Industrial Partnerships, Model-to-Clinic and Multi-use Frameworks Playbook RFAs, are separately competed and separately funded. The Logistics Center therefore does not generate its own AI models; it is scored on its capacity to run a consortium, set data and tool-sharing policy, and build infrastructure that makes other teams' clinical decision support tools discoverable and reusable. Applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization on the date specified for the relevant review cycle, with an earliest project start date of 2 October 2026 and a maximum project period of five years.
On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.

Only current MEP Center primary awardees can apply. The NOFO has slipped from Q2 2026 to late 2026, and the public teaming partner list is the single entry point for everyone else.
