About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $600,000 delivery order to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) for Laboratory Evaluation of AI-Developed Protocols for Biosecurity (LEAP) Support Services. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of April 11, 2026, will be performed in Laurel, Maryland, where APL maintains its headquarters. The contract represents a non-set-aside procurement issued under APL's university-affiliated research center (UARC) status, leveraging the organization's extensive capabilities in advanced research, systems engineering, and technical services across defense and national security domains.
This delivery order falls under APL's existing IDIQ framework agreements with DARPA and other federal agencies, enabling rapid task order issuance for specialized technical services. APL's participation in biosecurity research and AI protocol evaluation aligns with DARPA's strategic focus on emerging technologies and national security applications. As a premier federally funded research and development center, APL is well-positioned to evaluate artificial intelligence-developed biosecurity protocols in a laboratory setting, combining its strengths in research infrastructure, specialized workforce capabilities, and experience supporting complex technical initiatives across the Department of Defense and intelligence community components.
