The IARPA Solutions Marketplace is an open-call announcement for solutions to support the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) and the broader Intelligence Community (IC) in advancing research, development, experimentation, prototyping, test, procurement, and sustainment of solutions relevant to the IC mission. 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. The goals of the IARPA Solutions Marketplace include establishing a centralized location where Intelligence Community activities can assess the state of the art in available IC-relevant solutions and providing a tool for industry, academia, and individual solution providers to promote their research, technologies, and related products and services to the Government. Some of the key benefits of participation in the IARPA Solutions Marketplace include exposure and marketing of solution(s) to relevant IC and Federal Government customer organizations, access to the IARPA Solutions Marketplace streamlined submission process, fast track assessment timelines, contract pathways for award of research, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, and even production, and fully negotiable award terms.
