About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $309,972 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Aptima Inc., a small business headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, under the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI). The award, finalized on February 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 12, 2026, represents DARPA's effort to transition innovative commercial solutions into operational capabilities. This contract emerged from DARPA's Commercial Solutions Opening solicitation, which was posted on May 1, 2024, and accepted rolling proposals through April 30, 2025, to identify solutions that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide new technological advancements.

Aptima specializes in human-centered research and development with core competencies in artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, training systems, and human-machine interaction—areas directly aligned with DARPA's mission. The company maintains an extensive portfolio of DARPA awards, including prior Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contracts across multiple phases. As a small business, Aptima was well-positioned to benefit from DARPA's funding flexibility under the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative, which provides greater support to small businesses and nontraditional contractors compared to larger enterprises. The work will be performed in Woburn, Massachusetts, and no set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.
