About this opportunity
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) announced the IARPA Solutions Marketplace on July 17, 2026, a continuous open-call vehicle soliciting unclassified video solutions from all eligible US-based entities, foreign universities and research institutions, and individuals through July 31, 2027. Solutions assessed as "awardable" through peer review become available for rapid procurement by Intelligence Community activities and federal agencies without further competition under statutory authorities including 50 U.S.C. 3024(m)(6) and FAR Part 35.102/6.101(b)(3)(ii)(A)-(B).
The marketplace accepts monthly submissions due by 12:00 PM EST on the final day of each month. Submitters must provide unclassified video pitches (maximum 5 minutes, HD 1920x1080, .mp4 format under 1.0GB) accompanied by a completed submission form and a five-slide package addressing submitting entity information, solution overview, technical merit (problem definition, technical approach, innovation, feasibility, achievability), mission impact, and pricing model. Assessment results are provided within 30 calendar days of each monthly collection period. Awardable solutions receive 24-month marketplace placement and are eligible for negotiable award terms including flexible funding structures, durations, and contract types (fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, incentive-based).
Peer review panels comprising government, industry, and academic subject matter experts evaluate submissions using weighted criteria: Defining the Problem (15%), Overall Technical Merit (45%), Mission Impact (30%), and Pricing Model (10%). Strategic focus areas include Secure Communications, Cyber and Artificial Intelligence Security, Automating the Business of Research & Development, Biometric Recognition and Multimodal Privacy Preservation, Economic Security, Power and Energy Solutions, Agentic Super Intelligence Infrastructure, and Other Intelligence Community Relevant Solutions. All submission costs are the responsibility of submitting entities. Inquiries direct to success@iarpamarketplace.us.
