The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
