IARPA Solutions Marketplace
This open-call marketplace accepts IC-relevant research, development, experimentation, prototyping, test, procurement, and sustainment solutions from industry, academia, and individual solution providers for possible rapid acquisition by intelligence community organizations.
⚑ Federal contract special notice / open-call marketplace rather than a traditional grant or cooperative agreement · Solutions are curated for rapid acquisition pathways; marketplace participation does not itself guarantee funding · Broad participation by academia is stated, but final procurement would depend on later acquisition actions
This is a broad procurement/solution-sourcing marketplace for IC-relevant technologies, not a research program aligned with IPPRA’s survey, risk-perception, weather, energy, or education-policy lines. The team might interact only as occasional subject-matter reviewers or collaborators, but it is not something they would pursue as PI-level research.

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. Visit iarpa.gov/marketplace to participate. **UPDATE** The Announcment document has been updated and provided for your convenience. All changes are also reflected on the IARPA Marketplace URL.
