About this award
BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Ball Corporation, was awarded a $297,210 definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on September 30, 2022, for the VERDI project. This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which has no set-aside designation, will be performed in Boulder, Colorado, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2023. The award originated from DARPA's Information Innovation Office broad agency announcement, which sought innovative early-stage research ideas to address novel challenges not currently covered by existing I2O programs, with proposals evaluated on technical approach, team organization, costs, technical rationale, and organizational qualifications.
As a prominent federal contractor specializing in space systems, defense hardware, and advanced research and development, BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. brings substantial expertise to support DARPA's mission innovation objectives. The company's selection reflects its established capabilities in systems engineering, research and development, and technical support services across multiple government agencies. The relatively modest contract ceiling value and compressed performance timeline suggest this represents early-stage research funding typical of DARPA's approach to evaluating innovative concepts and technical feasibility before potential expansion into larger development efforts.
