NIST is pausing all submissions under the CRDO Broad Agency Announcement (2025-NIST-CHIPS-CRDO-01) on September 15, 2026 for system upgrades — no white papers, no pre-negotiation packages, no investment fund applications until roughly November. Here is what the pause means for a $10M-minimum rolling BAA that runs through 2029, and how to use the dark window.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleNIST's July 2026 MEP funding opportunity opens 14 state and territory centers — from California's $15.6M to Alaska's $706K — to new operators under cooperative agreements requiring a 50% nonfederal match. Applications are due August 21, 2026, with a July 28 webinar. Here is who can compete, how the match works, and why this recompete matters for every small manufacturer in those 14 states.
