About this award

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $6.33 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the BARCELONA research project, with performance concluding on February 28, 2026. This award was issued without set-aside designation, reflecting full and open competition. The contract originated from DARPA's Information Innovation Office Broad Agency Announcement, which solicited innovative early-stage research proposals addressing novel technical challenges not currently covered by ongoing DARPA programs. APL, a premier federally funded research and development center headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, will perform work at its Maryland facility, leveraging its substantial capabilities in advanced research, systems engineering, and prototype development across defense and national security domains.

APL engaged multiple specialized subcontractors to support the BARCELONA effort, including VWR International LLC for materials procurement, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. and Global Life Sciences Solutions USA LLC for specialized test equipment, Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C. for laboratory supplies and diagnostic equipment, and Phadia US Inc. for immunodiagnostic computing equipment and power supply. These subcontractors bring complementary expertise in laboratory instrumentation, scientific reagents, and diagnostic technologies essential to the research initiative. As a subsidiary of Johns Hopkins University with extensive experience delivering sophisticated technical solutions to Department of Defense and intelligence community agencies, APL is well-positioned to execute this cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement, which allows flexibility for complex research activities requiring iterative development and technical refinement.
