About this award
Aptima Inc., a small business specializing in human-centered research and development, received a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on January 1, 2026. The definitive contract, valued at $1.19M with a ceiling of $1.19M, carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure and is designated as a total small business set-aside. Work will be performed at Aptima's facility in Woburn, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. STTR Phase II awards typically represent the development stage of innovative technologies that emerged from successful Phase I research, often involving collaboration between small businesses and research institutions to advance promising solutions toward commercialization or operational deployment.
Aptima's extensive experience in federal research and development positions the company well for this effort. The Woburn-based firm has established a track record delivering cutting-edge work to DARPA and other defense agencies in areas including artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, human-machine interaction, and performance analytics. Through various IDVs and multiple award contracts—including a $4B SeaPort-NXG agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command and a $950M Advanced Battle Management System IDC—Aptima has demonstrated capabilities in complex technological development. This STTR Phase II award reflects DARPA's continued confidence in the company's ability to translate innovative research concepts into viable solutions for defense applications.
