Worth a look
511 solicitations were active in NAICS 541715 this morning. Five are worth your time. The code is shared with laboratory and materials research, which is where most of the volume goes; the six we cut for that reason are listed underneath.
HADES (Hybrid Architecture and Development for Experimental Systems) Request for Proposal
Why it fits you: Space Development Agency and Combat Power Systems at Kirtland. Hybrid architecture and development for experimental systems — the closest thing in the code this week to the JADC2 Phase III work you have been running on GSA since 2023. Full solicitation, responses 17 September, so there is time to team.
Solicitation FA8809-26-R-B002 · open it on sam.gov
Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IETS)
Why it fits you: Naval Air Warfare Center, intelligence exploitation and targeting systems. Presolicitation due 30 August, which means the requirement is still being shaped and a capability statement now is worth more than a proposal later. You already hold Navy R&D money.
Solicitation N6893626R5010 · open it on sam.gov
Missile Defense Agency - Nimble Options for Buying Layered Effects (NOBLE) Announcement
Why it fits you: Missile Defense Agency's standing on-ramp for layered defense capability, open until 2030. Not a deadline, an entry point: MDA accepts white papers continuously against it, and for a shop with three Air Force SBIR Phase III awards this is the cheapest way into a new agency.
Solicitation HQ0860-25-S-0001 · open it on sam.gov
ManTech special Broad Agency Announcement (sBAA): Accelerating Maritime Modernization: Innovation in Naval Manufacturing, Sustainment, and Industrial Base Capability
Why it fits you: Office of Naval Research special Broad Agency Announcement on accelerating manufacturing. White-paper-first, so the bid cost is a few days rather than a few weeks. Responses 14 September.
Solicitation N0001426SB002 · open it on sam.gov
Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT)
Why it fits you: DARPA, precision inertial navigation. Listed with a caveat: the physics is not your work, the autonomy and software integration around it is. This is a teaming lane, not a prime bid, and we would only chase it with a hardware partner already lined up.

Screened out
Six of the notices we removed, and why.
Airborne and Mobile Measurements to support NOAA ARL’s Research on Meteorology and Atmospheric Chemistry
Why we would pass: NOAA airborne atmospheric measurement. Aircraft operations, not software.
Solicitation 145022-26-0017 · open it on sam.gov
HIP Optimization Study for GRX-810
Why we would pass: NASA hot isostatic pressing study on a superalloy. Materials science.
Solicitation 80NSSC26938863Q · open it on sam.gov
Underwater Training and Testing
Why we would pass: NASA underwater training and testing support. Facility operations.
Solicitation 80JSC026Q0010 · open it on sam.gov
PRISM study of a Compound NCGC01219867
Why we would pass: NIH compound screening study. Wet-lab pharmacology coded 541715.
Solicitation 75N98026Q00990 · open it on sam.gov
REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPERS BAA TOPIC: Topic 13. Biotechnology, “Controlling polymicrobial environments as a strategy for defeating harmful organisms while promoting the growth of beneficial organisms”
Why we would pass: Army biotechnology white papers. Coded 541715 but the topic is materials biology.
Solicitation W912CG-26-S-BIOTECH · open it on sam.gov
MTEC Pre-Announcement: Fiscal Year 2026 Multi Topic
Why we would pass: Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium multi-topic pre-announcement. Consortium membership required and the topics are clinical; we cut it rather than send you to a membership form.

This, every Monday, for your codes
This brief took a machine reading the entire live sam.gov feed and a person deciding what to leave out. We do it weekly for your NAICS and PSC codes, your set-aside status and your award history, and email you the short list with deadlines. $199 a month. This one was free and there is nothing to sign up for to keep it.
