About Torchlight Solutions LLC
Torchlight Solutions LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Arlington, Massachusetts, delivers defense research and development services to DARPA and the Air Force as a prime contractor on nontraditional Other Transaction IDVs and firm fixed-price research contracts, with no subcontract activity in its recent award footprint.
Torchlight's customer base consists entirely of defense agencies. DARPA accounts for three of four awards totaling $3.3 million in combined potential value, while the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory holds one award worth $150 thousand. The concentration reflects Torchlight's positioning as a nontraditional contractor supporting advanced defense technology development rather than a general-purpose federal services provider.
Torchlight holds two active Other Transaction IDVs with DARPA. The first, SOAR ON, awarded December 30, 2025, carries a $2 million ceiling and establishes a multiple-award vehicle for task orders in research, development, and innovation services aligned with DARPA's strategic objectives; specific products, services, and performance locations will be defined in individual task orders. The second, Microsystems Exploration Steerable Optical Aperture Receivers (SOAR), awarded December 12, 2022, has a ceiling of $999,993 and supports research and development in steerable optical aperture receivers for microsystems applications. Beyond the IDVs, Torchlight won a $320 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract from DARPA on August 15, 2025, under DARPA's Commercial Solutions Opening and Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative mechanisms, with ultimate completion August 14, 2026. This award reflects DARPA's evaluation of Torchlight's proposal on technical merit, risk assessment, contractor qualifications, and proposed pricing, positioning the company to support DARPA's mission of developing innovative defense capabilities. Torchlight's work spans applied research and exploratory development in defense R&D, classified under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences).
Activity remains sparse — one award in 2020, one in 2022, and two in 2025 — with the $320 thousand CSO contract reaching completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $3.5 million, with $2.7 million obligated (77% utilization).
