The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has officially released its Fiscal Year 2026 Multi-Topic Request for Project Proposals (RPP). This funding opportunity is soliciting a broad range of medical prototype technological and knowledge solutions across various focus areas. Proposed solutions can include new medical techniques, knowledge products, and materials such as medical devices, drugs, and biologics.
A critical feature of this RPP is military relevance. As the landscape of wartime operations shifts, future conflicts against peer and near-peer adversaries are expected to be layered stand-offs fought across multiple domains. To ensure mission success, from penetrating enemy defenses to consolidating gains, military readiness must rapidly adapt. Medical capabilities will play an essential role in every aspect of this future battlespace, requiring rapid modernization to maintain Force readiness and increase overall soldier lethality.
Due to the wide variety of focus areas in this solicitation, the specific funding amount, expected Period of Performance, and number of anticipated awards will vary based on the availability of federal funds for each program. However, for informational purposes, the average size of MTEC awards is approximately $2.0 to $3.5 million over a two- to three-year period.
The selection process for these prototype projects will be highly competitive, with evaluations based on technical merit, programmatic considerations, and funding availability.
Proposals are due on October 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM (Noon) Eastern Time.
