About this opportunity
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Scalable Solutions Office is hosting a Proposers' Day on September 10, 2026, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern Time in support of the FASTPASS Innovative Solutions Opening, with registration closing September 4, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET.
FASTPASS aims to prevent contaminated or substandard medications from reaching patients by developing rapid, non-contact drug quality and safety testing systems for pharmaceutical supply chains. The program comprises two Technical Areas: TA1 SAMPLE (Sensing Technologies) seeks advanced through-packaging sensing technologies using non-destructive, non-contact methods including spectrographic analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, Raman spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, or x-ray techniques; TA2 DETECT (Multi-modal Models) requires analytics, signal processing, data fusion, artificial intelligence, and machine learning approaches to process weak, noisy signals against reference standards.
The hybrid event will be held virtually and in-person at Strategic Analysis, Inc. Executive Conference Center, 4075 Wilson Blvd, Suite 200, Arlington, Virginia, featuring presentations by Program Manager CAPT James Coburn, IV&V process discussions, live Q&A, and networking. In-person attendees may request PM sidebars and networking tables on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is free with no same-day registration. ARPA-H encourages teaming and has established a Teaming Profile Form at https://solutions.arpa-h.gov/teaming/fastpass for organizations to identify complementary partners. The formal ISO is available on sam.gov. Direct questions to FASTPASS@arpa-h.gov.
