About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded Parallax Advanced Research Corporation a $6.94M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the Trustworthy Algorithmic Delegate (TAD) program. This definitively priced contract, which commenced on April 12, 2023 and extends through June 12, 2025, supports DARPA's efforts to develop autonomous algorithmic decision-makers capable of operating in high-stakes domains such as combat medical triage and mass casualty response. The work builds on DARPA's "In the Moment" program initiative, which seeks to advance the state of the art in building, evaluating, and fielding human-off-the-loop autonomous systems that can operate effectively under conditions of uncertainty, time pressure, limited resources, and conflicting values. Work is being performed at Parallax's facility in Beavercreek Township, Ohio.

Parallax Advanced Research Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research institute specializing in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous systems research for defense and intelligence agencies, is well-positioned to execute this effort. The contractor holds a $97.5M single-award MATRIX indefinite delivery vehicle with the Air Force Research Laboratory that enables cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders for mission analytics and machine learning capabilities, and maintains demonstrated expertise in autonomous decision-making research through prior programs including READS, ASTTERIA, and CIDER. No set-aside designation applies to this contract award.
