IARPA Solutions Marketplace
This open-call marketplace supports submission and procurement of intelligence-community-relevant solutions, products, software, and services for rapid acquisition pathways, including research, prototyping, testing, procurement, and sustainment.
⚑ Federal contract marketplace/open-call, not a traditional research grant · Intended for industry, academia, and individual solution providers · Procurement/rapid acquisition pathway; awards are not guaranteed by submission · Eligibility and contracting details may depend on specific solution/procurement actions
This is an acquisition/commercialization marketplace for IC-relevant technologies, not a research funding call, and it is aimed at solutions in cybersecurity, AI, and computing rather than the team’s survey, risk-perception, warning, energy, or education-policy programs. IPPRA might occasionally inform a security-related solution indirectly, but there is no plausible PI-level fit for this roster.

Description
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) in conjunction with its marketplace manager, The Applied Research Institute (ARI), is initiating this long-term, Open-call Announcement for solutions to support IARPA and the broader Intelligence Community (IC) in advancing research, development, experimentation, prototyping, test, procurement, and sustainment of solutions relevant to the IC mission. This initiative, entitled the “IARPA Solutions Marketplace”, will solicit, collect, assess, and curate Intelligence Community-relevant solutions, and make those solutions available through rapid acquisition pathways. The Marketplace provides a venue for Government organizations to search, view, review, compare, contrast, contact, negotiate, and procure IC-relevant solutions through rapid acquisition pathways. For industry, academia, and individual solution providers, the Marketplace is a valuable tool to promote IC-relevant solutions, products, software, and services to the Intelligence Community in an environment with multiple rapid acquisition pathways.
