Top 10 Federal Contract Opportunities: September 27, 2026

These are the top 10 federal contract opportunities the G2X community researched most over the last 24 hours. Yesterday’s attention spans agency operations, clinical data, software testing, advanced research, and lender oversight. Here is what each requirement covers and where it stands in the acquisition process.

1. USDA mail-processing and courier services

USDA’s Agricultural Research Service is seeking mail-processing and courier support for the National Agricultural Library and Administrative and Financial Management operations. Incoming mail distribution, outgoing metered mail, special deliveries, daily logs, and address changes form the core of the requirement.

The Acquisition and Property Division is handling combined synopsis/solicitation 1232SA26Q1507, with quotations due September 28. The planned service period has a one-month base and two one-month options. The acquisition materials describe an intended single-source action while the public notice allows responsible sources to submit quotations for consideration.

2. DCSA Innovation Gateway

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency’s Innovation Gateway is a commercial solutions solicitation for prototype projects under Other Transaction Agreements. Its broad areas of interest include digital transformation, data integration and analytics, cyber and industrial security, and digital workforce capabilities.

Solicitation HS0021-26-CSO-DCSA remains open through June 2031, but that is the overall gateway period, not a universal proposal deadline. DCSA accepts proposals only against separately issued Innovation Calls, each with its own requirements and submission instructions. The current notice identifies a call for a Unified Application Access and Integration Prototype; unsolicited proposals outside an Innovation Call are not reviewed.

3. DHA clinical data abstraction for eye-injury research

The Defense Health Agency is gathering capability information for its Vision Center of Excellence. The work would populate and maintain the Defense and Veterans Eye Injury and Vision Registry, a joint military and VA clinical repository covering ocular injuries, diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes.

Sources-sought solicitation PANDHA26P0000042277 requests responses by October 2. The scope includes extracting clinical information from military and VA systems, training data abstractors, maintaining procedures, and auditing data quality. The registry supports longitudinal research and care coordination. This is market research for the requirement, not a request for priced proposals.

6. DARPA Information Processing Techniques Office research

DARPA’s Information Processing Techniques Office is accepting research ideas through its office-wide broad agency announcement. The scope is deliberately distinct from ongoing IPTO programs and other published solicitations: the office seeks revolutionary ideas that those efforts do not already address.

Solicitation HR001126S0011 lists a June 22, 2027 response deadline. DARPA directs prospective respondents to review the office’s current and upcoming programs before proposing, so submissions do not duplicate existing activities or answer a different solicitation. This is an open research announcement, not a notice of a completed award.
