DMP_Industry Day_August 2026_REVISED SEPT 2026.pdf

This is an industry day presentation for the DARPA Modernization Project (DMP), scheduled for August 2026 with revisions noted for September 2026. The presentation serves as an informational briefing to introduce potential Architecture and Engineering (A&E) service contractors to the project scope, requirements, and procurement process prior to the formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) submission.

The document outlines DARPA's modernization initiative and provides guidance for interested firms regarding the qualification-based selection process governed by the Brooks Act and FAR Subpart 36.6. The procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, requiring interested parties to submit completed SF 330 forms in accordance with the Public Announcement Notice. Contractors should anticipate that contract award will be made based on qualifications rather than cost proposals, with no pricing quotations requested at this stage. The industry day briefing is designed to familiarize potential bidders with project objectives, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements before the formal RFQ is released.
