DARPA's Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is seeking innovative, foundational thermal management solutions via the ERIS Marketplace. - Opportunity focuses on disruptive mechanisms that can break current thermodynamic limits for DoD applications - Modular, integrated cooling packages are specifically excluded; only game-changing, fundamental approaches are desired - No specific OEMs, vendors, products, part numbers, or quantities are listed - Submissions are accepted immediately and reviewed on a rolling basis - Requirements emphasize novel, non-incremental solutions to thermal management challenges

Commercial Opportunity Details: - Open to all vendors and technology developers with relevant solutions - No restrictions on application areas within DoD, as long as the approach is foundational and disruptive - No attachments or additional product/service line items provided

Procurement Process: - Immediate and ongoing submission window - No defined contract value or period of performance - No sole source or award information included

Description

DARPA DSO will be actively “shopping” the ERIS Marketplace for game-changing, foundational mechanisms—rather than modular, integrated cooling packages—capable of fundamentally disrupting legacy thermodynamic limits across diverse DoD application spaces. This is an active and immediate search for solutions. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis in accordance with the procedures set forth in DARPA-PS-25-05.
