About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Vanderbilt University's Sponsored Programs Administration division received a $6.28 million definitive contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on February 12, 2024, for work on the META-BPL (Machine Learning for Enterprise Technologies and Applications - Business Process Language) Technical Area 1 Phase I effort. The award represents an exercise of the option year 1 with incremental funding and includes updates to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) accounting records. This cost-no-fee contract extends through February 5, 2028, and will be performed in Nashville, Tennessee. The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation opportunity in April 2023, called for tools capable of parsing business logic system documentation and extracting formal representations—a capability aimed at advancing automated understanding of complex enterprise systems documentation.

Vanderbilt engaged two subcontract awards to Leidos, Inc. (operating as SAIC through its Leidos Solutions Operating Segment division), with subcontracts awarded in March 2024 and August 2024 to support the same business logic parsing and formal representation extraction objectives. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents DARPA's investment in research and development capabilities that align with the agency's focus on transformative technologies. Leidos' involvement as a major subcontractor brings deep expertise in systems engineering, research and development, and advanced technological solutions, complementing Vanderbilt's academic research capabilities to deliver cutting-edge tools for enterprise technology modernization.
