Top 10 Federal Contract Opportunities: September 25, 2026

Yesterday’s G2X community research put these ten federal contract opportunities at the top of the roundup. They span workforce systems, IT support, analytics, logistics, and research collaboration. Here is the scope and acquisition stage behind each requirement.

1. FEMA deployment-management modernization

FEMA is researching a replacement for its legacy Deployment Tracking System. The Information Technology Development and Sustainment office is considering commercial, configurable, custom, and hybrid approaches to managing the agency’s incident workforce.

The scope connects workforce readiness, qualifications, training, personnel availability, deployment orders, staffing, equipment assignments, and reporting. A replacement would also need secure cloud hosting and connections to FEMA and DHS systems. Sources sought solicitation 70FA3126I00000008 requests capability responses by October 5. This is market research rather than a request for proposals.

2. Marine Corps cyberspace operations and AI integration

Marine Corps Systems Command’s Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems is researching operational support for the Marine Corps Cyberspace Environment. The requirement centers on qualified cyber personnel supporting service desks, end users, networks, data centers, cyberspace defense, and engineering.

This is a services requirement, not a purchase of new third-party software licenses. The government is exploring automation and enterprise AI delivered through existing platforms or contractor tools provided without additional license costs. It is considering a phased approach that stabilizes core services before optional AI integrations. Sources sought solicitation M6785426I4208 now accepts responses through October 19.

3. U.S. Embassy Panama social-listening services

The U.S. Embassy in Panama is requesting quotations for a social-media listening dashboard and strategic-intelligence service for its Public Diplomacy Section. The one-year service combines dashboard access with weekly and ad hoc reports and monthly meetings with embassy staff.

The scope calls for multiple media-intelligence platforms, monitoring across major social networks, and human review of AI-generated analytical material before it enters reports. Offerors must also supply the required software supply-chain risk documentation. Solicitation 19PM0726Q0031 lists a September 25 response deadline and calls for award to a responsible firm with an acceptable offer at the lowest price.

6. Navy PMS 470 professional support

9. GUIDE medical-countermeasure research collaboration

The Joint Project Lead for CBRND Enabling Biotechnologies is seeking participants in Generative Unconstrained Intelligence Drug Engineering, or GUIDE.

The special announcement invites organizations to seek participation in potential projects; it is not an award notice or a conventional request for a finished commercial product. The collaboration includes computational and experimental methods for drug engineering, with projects potentially using other-transaction authorities. The overall notice remains open through October 18, 2028.

10. DARPA Multi X Office research opening

DARPA’s Multi X Office is accepting abstracts for revolutionary research outside the topics covered by its existing programs and other published solicitations. The office-wide Innovative Solutions Opening seeks approaches that create new capabilities rather than incremental improvements to established technology.

Research areas include beyond-CMOS materials and hardware, more resilient development tools and supply chains, and new or hybrid ways to sense, compute, and communicate. Abstracts are reviewed on a rolling basis; a full proposal follows only after an invitation. Solicitation DARPA-PS-26-115 remains open through June 4, 2027, with potential awards through other-transaction authorities.
