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. More information about DSO’s technical domains and research topics of interest may be found at https://www.darpa.mil/about/offices/dso.
The Disruptioneering Program enables DARPA's DSO to pursue rapid, focused exploratory investments. DSO will issue individual Disruption Opportunities (DOs) under this solicitation that target specific technical domains to pursue innovative research leading to a prototype demonstration. Prototype projects may include proofs of concept, pilots, novel applications of commercial technologies for defense purposes, and creation, design, development, or demonstration of technical or operational utility. DOs will be issued as one or two-phase efforts (Phase 1 base and Phase 2 option) with fixed payable milestones. Awards will be Other Transactions (OT) for prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. § 4022.
We post new science & technology research opportunities in Virginia as agencies publish them. Get them in one email — free, and unsubscribe whenever.

One prequalification covers both — on this bid and the next.
A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what an agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
