- Posted: 2026-04-08 · Deadline: 2026-04-29T17:00:00
- URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/053220e25b94452980e372ce45111c7c/view
- Relevance: 9/10 · FFRDC: unclear · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
- Lexical hits: Proposers Day, NAICS:541715 (score 6.0)
- Themes: Power electronics, Spacecraft power system architecture, Mixed-signal electronics
- Fit: The AMPED program focuses on advanced power electronics and high-efficiency power conversion, which aligns directly with JPL's expertise in spacecraft power systems and DC-DC converter technology. DARPA programs in this domain are highly relevant to future space-flight power architectures.
[d7a114039e074c4db5b01fea35e97265] Expeditionary Power- and Energy-Dense Implementations (ExPEDitions) Proposers Day
- Source: sam.gov
- Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA).DEF ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGCY
- Posted: 2026-04-30 · Deadline: 2026-05-04T17:00:00-04:00
- URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/d7a114039e074c4db5b01fea35e97265/view
- Relevance: 8/10 · FFRDC: unclear · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
- Lexical hits: power, energy, Proposers Day, NAICS:541715 (score 10.0)
- Themes: Power electronics, Energy storage, Spacecraft power system architecture
- Fit: The ExPEDitions program focuses on high-density power and energy systems for expeditionary environments, which aligns with JPL's expertise in advanced power electronics and energy storage. While the focus is expeditionary (terrestrial), the underlying technology requirements for high-power-density, lightweight, and efficient energy systems are directly transferable to spacecraft power architectures.
[8f724db889d3447ba8329009fc83c2a9] FY25 Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology
- Source: sam.gov
- Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.ONR.ONR HQS.OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH
- Posted: 2026-05-14 · Deadline: 2026-09-30T00:00:00-04:00
- URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/8f724db889d3447ba8329009fc83c2a9/view
- Relevance: 8/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: restricted
- Lexical hits: Broad Agency Announcement, BAA, NAICS:541715 (score 8.0)
- Themes: Power electronics, Avionics hardware, Mixed-signal electronics, Radiation-hard and high-reliability space electronics
