Scope

The mission of the DARPA DSO is to identify, investigate, and leverage nascent scientific advances for national security applications by pursuing high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives across a broad spectrum of science and engineering disciplines.

Disruption Opportunity (DO) topics are issued to rapidly investigate new concepts with focused investments.

DOs enable DARPA to initiate a new investment for unclassified efforts in less than 120 calendar days from idea inception.

To enable this approach, DSO will issue individual DOs under this solicitation.

These opportunities will target specific technical domains important to DSO’s mission to pursue innovative research that leads to a prototype demonstration.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
