The Department of Commerce's open requirement for a superconducting qubit control system closes in three days, and the agency needs it to advance its quantum-computing capabilities. One requirement will close within seven days and five more within thirty, creating tight deadline pressure across the week. The most active buyers among the open solicitations are the Department of Defense with six requirements, the Department of War with two, and the Department of Commerce with one. Other notable near-term opportunities include a high-speed photon-number-resolution imaging sensor array closing in ten days, a Human Kinase LentiArray CRISPR library in fifteen days, and DARPA's DICE research solicitation in sixteen days.
