About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $9.9M cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for weapon system prototype development in fiscal year 2019. The contract, awarded on July 25, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of July 24, 2020, represents a non-set-aside award based on open competition. APL, a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center located in Laurel, Maryland, leveraged its established capabilities in systems engineering, research, development, test, and evaluation services to support naval systems advancement. The delivery order structure indicates this work was likely executed under one of APL's existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, enabling rapid task order procurement for the Navy's specialized technical requirements.
APL's performance on this prototype development effort aligns with the laboratory's core mission of delivering advanced technical solutions to national security agencies. As a child entity of Johns Hopkins University, APL brings sophisticated engineering and research capabilities across multiple defense domains, including naval combat systems and emerging technologies. The cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure is standard for complex research and development activities where requirements may evolve, providing flexibility while maintaining cost accountability. The contract's deobligation status indicates funds were ultimately released from this specific award, consistent with typical prototype development programs where funding may be reallocated based on technical progress or programmatic adjustments.
