Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1) Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2) Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3) What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?
Explicit exclusions
Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.
Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.
Complete primary record set
Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.
Recurring. DARPA's technical offices maintain office-wide BAAs that are refreshed annually; exact closing dates and technical interests are in the current SAM.gov notices.
Fit
Only a sharp technical thesis with a program match
Status
active; BAA-specific
Verified At
2026-07-25
Eligibility
DARPA states that BAAs are open to proposers able to meet agency needs. Each office BAA and SAM.gov notice governs eligibility, abstract or proposal mechanics, security, award instrument, and deadline.
Access Notes
An office-wide BAA is a route for an unusually sharp research thesis outside current programs, not general venture support. An award is not guaranteed, and broad generation-ship framing is not responsive.
Founder Action
Only consider a proposal after identifying a current technical-office interest, a falsifiable civil or defensive research thesis, qualified performers, and a clean prohibited-use screen; seek separate authorization before abstracts, contacts, or submissions.
Evidence Boundary
Official DARPA office-wide BAA page reviewed. It states purpose, general availability, annual refresh, and SAM.gov as the source of record; no current topic match, eligibility, contact, or relationship is implied.
Relationship
indexed only; no formal relationship
Action Status
proposed; not undertaken
Conflicts
National-security purpose, classified or controlled work, export control, publication limits, IP, and weaponization risks require enhanced legal, ethics, and dual-use review.
What Would Change
A current BAA with a precise allowed-use match, independent policy clearance, a qualified team, and preliminary evidence would materially change fit.
Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.
Sources, verification dates, scope notes, and exact fingerprints
Official DARPA office-wide BAA page reviewed. It states purpose, general availability, annual refresh, and SAM.gov as the source of record; no current topic match, eligibility, contact, or relationship is implied.
Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.
Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.
Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.
Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
Every primary record must receive the required number of valid, current-fingerprint approvals; every complementary scope group and required domain must be covered; any unresolved revise, contest, or reject disposition blocks publication.
Named medical, reproductive, nuclear, radiation, cybersecurity, governance, and dual-use conclusions require two distinct qualified independent humans covering complementary domain-method and rights/public-interest scopes.
Reviewer identity, qualification, independence, conflicts, and compensation must be assessed by accountable human governance; local validation can only report structural validity.
Approve, revise, contest, reject, and recuse remain visible. A negative finding cannot be hidden by an aggregate approval percentage.
Revision creates a new record and packet fingerprint. Prior approvals do not carry forward automatically.
AI may assist with clerical comparison but cannot count as an independent reviewer, identity attestor, appeal authority, or second person.

Assumptions and limits
The exact packet, record, source, policy, release, and source-commit fingerprints bound this prepared page; human review has not started.
Downloading, local structural validation, or completing notes does not appoint or qualify a reviewer, establish independence, accept a decision, authorize publication, or create a relationship.
What would change this page?
Staffed governance, appointed qualified reviewers, completed record-level decisions, published conflicts, minority findings, corrections, or changed review policy would change this page.
