About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $25.951 million definitive contract to HRL Laboratories, LLC for development of electrically small receivers and transmitters exceeding current state-of-the-art performance under the MACARONI program on April 19, 2024, on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with no set-aside.

Place of performance is Malibu, California. The ultimate completion date is November 26, 2027. HRL Laboratories, a joint venture of The Boeing Company and General Motors, competes full-and-open without SBA certifications and operates as a large-business research and development laboratory delivering advanced-technology work primarily to DARPA, Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, and Naval Research.

The originating solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation June 2, 2023 with a due date of October 10, 2023, sought development of electrically small receiver and transmitter systems to exceed the current state of the art. Subcontractors include Xometry (precision manufacturing of machined components, sheet metal assemblies, and welded assemblies), Microchip Technology (semiconductor components and wafers), Aero Systems West (lift quadcopter systems and spares), and Blue Ridge Crystal Technologies (single-crystal quartz resonators), alongside Atomica Corp (actuator and frequency control device technical services) and Aluma Tower Company (trailer tower and mast systems).
