The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), operating under the Department of Defense, has issued a Special Notice (Procurement Identifier: DARPA-SN-26-63) announcing an in-person Proposers Day for the upcoming AMPED Program Solicitation (PS). This event is scheduled to take place on May 13, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the DARPA Conference Center (DCC) in Arlington, Virginia.
The primary purpose of this Proposers Day is to provide prospective offerors with critical information regarding the anticipated AMPED program, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the program’s objectives, technical requirements, and expected deliverables. While the full Program Solicitation is expected to be released prior to the event, interested parties are encouraged to monitor https://sam.gov/ for its publication. The Proposers Day will serve as a forum for direct engagement with DARPA representatives, offering attendees the opportunity to clarify program goals, ask questions, and network with potential collaborators.
The AMPED program falls under NAICS Code 541715, which pertains to Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). The associated Product Service Code is AC12, further indicating a focus on research and development activities. This classification suggests that DARPA is seeking innovative research solutions and advanced technological developments within the physical, engineering, or life sciences domains, excluding nanotechnology and biotechnology.
The contracting entity for this opportunity is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a federal office renowned for pioneering research initiatives that address national security challenges. The agency’s involvement underscores the high-impact, forward-looking nature of the AMPED program.
Interested parties should note that this notice is informational in nature and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals at this stage. Attendance at the Proposers Day is strongly encouraged for organizations considering participation in the forthcoming solicitation, as it will provide valuable insights into the program’s scope and expectations. The event is particularly relevant for entities with expertise in advanced research and development within the specified NAICS and PSC codes.
For further information or to register interest, prospective participants should contact the AMPED PS Coordinator via email at [email protected]. Additional details, including any attachments related to the notice, can be accessed through the official SAM.gov opportunity page at https://sam.gov/opp/053220e25b94452980e372ce45111c7c/view.
In summary, this Special Notice represents a significant opportunity for research organizations and contractors specializing in physical, engineering, and life sciences R&D to engage with DARPA on a potentially transformative program. Early engagement through the Proposers Day will position interested parties to better understand the program’s direction and prepare competitive proposals once the formal solicitation is released.
