About this opportunity

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals through September 20, 2019 for innovative research in three technical areas related to zero-knowledge proofs under the Securing Information for Encrypted Verification and Evaluation broad agency announcement. Proposals will be evaluated based on advancing the state of the art in zero-knowledge proofs for complex Department of Defense applications through a scientific review process.

The research is not designated for any set-aside and is requested under NAICS code 541715 with a primary PSC code R425. Multiple awards are anticipated in each of the three technical areas involving encoding problems, developing proof generation compilers, and post-quantum proofs, to be issued using contracts, grants or other transaction agreements following Federal Acquisition Regulation procedures. The total budget for the three-phase research program is unspecified, though individual awards are likely to range from hundreds of thousands to multi-million dollar values based on typical DARPA contracting amounts, with research to be conducted over three phases lasting 18 months, 18 months, and 12 months respectively.
