About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) received a $17.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the U.S. Air Force on August 18, 2025, for the Advanced Common Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Development Environment (ACEDE) program. This delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, will be performed at APL's facility in Laurel, Maryland. As a non-set-aside procurement, this award reflects full and open competition based on APL's specialized technical capabilities in electromagnetic spectrum technologies and systems engineering. The contract represents a task order issued under one of APL's existing indefinite delivery vehicles with the Air Force, enabling flexible procurement of sophisticated research and development services supporting the Department of Defense's critical electromagnetic spectrum modernization objectives.
APL has assembled a robust supply chain of specialized subcontractors to support ACEDE development, including Concurrent Technologies Inc. for advanced computing solutions and single board computers; Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc. for spectrum analysis and electronic test and measurement equipment; New Wave Design & Verification LLC for specialized digital design and verification services; Mercury Systems Inc. for mission-critical electronic components and integrated subsystems; and additional suppliers including Annapolis Micro Systems, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, Wolf Advanced Technology, and Avnet Inc. for specialized electronic components and computing hardware. This subcontractor network reflects APL's established role as a premier federally funded research and development center, leveraging partnerships with leading defense technology suppliers to deliver integrated electromagnetic spectrum capabilities essential to Air Force operations and national security missions.
