About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $3.99 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) on October 7, 2024, for research program support services. This delivery order, which extends through June 30, 2026, is executed under APL's University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) status and does not utilize a set-aside designation. The work will be performed at APL's facility in Laurel, Maryland. As a not-for-profit research center and child entity of Johns Hopkins University, APL serves as a critical partner to DARPA and other defense agencies, providing sophisticated research, development, engineering, and technical services across national security domains including defense technology, space science, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
APL has engaged three subcontractors to support delivery of this award: Xsoptix LLC (a woman-owned small business specializing in optical and high-speed electrical components), Verizon Business Network Services LLC (providing telecommunications and networking infrastructure), and NKT Photonics Inc. (a Danish-based manufacturer of advanced laser systems and optical fibers). All three subcontractors were awarded materials or equipment procurement orders in early 2025 to support the underlying research activities. This delivery order represents part of DARPA's broader engagement with APL, which maintains significant indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicles with the agency enabling rapid access to specialized research and development capabilities across the defense and scientific research communities.
