DARPA-PA-25-07_Amendment_1_Summary_of_Changes.docx

This is an amendment summary document that clarifies and updates specific requirements for the DARPA-PA-25-07 Disruptioneering Program Announcement. The amendment mandates that proposers submit a Task Description Document as part of their proposals and requires submission of a redlined copy of the SAMPLE Other Transaction (OT) agreement; failure to submit a redlined version will result in DARPA assuming the proposer accepts all articles of the agreement. The amendment also implements new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements and updates language in the CUI/CTI section. Additional clarifications include correcting timeline references to align with "the proposal due date listed on the DO" rather than previous phrasing, and standardizing terminology to reference the "DO OT Sample" instead of "model OT."

The amendment completely replaces the MODEL OT attachment with a streamlined version titled "Disruptioneering—Other Transaction for Prototype Agreement SAMPLE." All changes to the program announcement are highlighted in yellow for easy identification. No other modifications have been made to DARPA-PA-25-07 except as specifically noted in this amendment. This solicitation pertains to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Defense Science Office, which issues Disruption Opportunity topics to rapidly investigate new concepts through focused investments in unclassified research, with efforts to move from concept to prototype demonstrations within an accelerated timeline.
