Opportunity description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency�s (DARPA) mission is to create technological surprise for national security, driving its research and development (R&D) programs to transform revolutionary concepts into practical capabilities for the military and civilian society. Under DARPA�s Commercial Solutions Opening (DCSO), DARPA seeks to close military and civilian capability gaps with commercial solutions derived from the Agency�s R&D programs. This DCSO is issued by DARPA Commercial Strategy within the Director�s Office. The Commercial Strategy team oversees the implementation of the DCSO, which includes the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI). The EEI, through the DCSO, awards participants with funds to support the integration of an embedded entrepreneur (EE) to assist performers with commercialization and business development efforts. Proposals submitted under this DCSO are solicited for transitioning and commercializing innovative solutions derived from DARPA-funded technologies into capabilities that meet operational requirements, close capability gaps, or deliver new technological advancements. DARPA anticipates receiving a range of proposals reflecting diverse technical, scientific, and business approaches.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
PSC B541 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

SAM.gov identifies this as a solicitation from DEPT OF DEFENSE. The record was posted on May 1, 2026 and currently lists April 30, 2027 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.
The listed product or service classification is PSC B541. The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
Before deciding to bid
