# IARPA Designates SignalBridge Awardable

On October 2, 2026, Nightwing’s SignalBridge mobile communications suite was designated “Awardable” following a competitive evaluation in the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) Solutions Marketplace. The listing gives Intelligence Community buyers an expedited route to assess and access the capability, but it is not a contract award and includes no announced funding, solicitation number, or procurement timeline. A separate Marine Corps prototype effort is also referenced as a potential mission-specific avenue.

- The marketplace designation creates a procurement pathway for IC customers to consider SignalBridge; it does not confirm a purchase or guarantee funding.
- Contractors can assess SignalBridge’s fit for relevant customer missions and use the IARPA listing as a route for customer engagement.
- The Marine Corps prototype effort may present a separate opportunity, but the signals provide no contract value, schedule, or solicitation details.
