This is a $4,366,076.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to RTX BBN Technologies, Inc. (doing business as BBN Technologies), a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation. The contract is for the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to help users perform complex physical tasks under the Perceptually-Enabled Task Guidance (PTG) program. This contract is not set aside.

The original solicitation, a DARPA Broad Agency Announcement, sought proposals for fundamental research to create AI systems that can understand physical tasks from a first-person perspective based on video and audio inputs, in order to provide contextual assistance and guidance. The contract includes up to $30 million in potential Phase 1 and Phase 2 awards for Technical Area 1, and up to $10 million for two Technical Area 2 prototype demonstrations.

BBN Technologies is the prime contractor and has subcontracted a portion of the work to Valkyries Austere Medical Solutions & Consultants LLC, a veteran-owned small business. This contract supports DARPA's broader efforts in advanced technology development across areas such as quantum computing, machine learning, and autonomous systems.
