[I] WELCOME TO THE INTELLIGENCE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS ACTIVITY (IARPA)

SOLUTIONS MARKETPLACE

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. Specifically, IARPA seeks to obtain solutions or potential capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technological advancements. 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.

[II] WHAT IS THE IARPA SOLUTIONS MARKETPLACE?

The IARPA Solutions Marketplace is a digital environment for post-competition video solution pitches. The video solutions housed within the IARPA marketplace have been assessed through competitive procedures that conform to the competition requirements of 50 U.S.C. § 3024(m)(6) (including exercise of 10 USC 4021, 10 USC 4022, and 10 USC 4022(f) authorities), and FAR Part 35.102 / 6.101(b)(3)(ii)(A)-(B), and are readily available to be viewed, selected, negotiated, and awarded by Intelligence Community activities (and Federal Agencies which share the relevant authorities underpinning the IARPA program), without further competition. 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.

[III] WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE IARPA SOLUTIONS MARKETPLACE?

The goals of the IARPA Solutions Marketplace are to establish a centralized location where Intelligence Community activities can assess the state of the art in available IC-relevant solutions, and where industry, academia, and individual solution providers can promote their research, technologies, and related products and services to the
