About this award
The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded a delivery order valued at approximately $18.3 million to Chitra Productions LLC, a Virginia Beach-based women-owned small business, for the Department of Defense Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) Summer Research Internship Program. The contract, designated as a HUBZone set-aside and structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, will be performed in Norfolk, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of September 27, 2026. Chitra Productions was selected based on its extensive experience delivering STEM education and research initiatives through multiple federal vehicles, including prior task orders totaling over $28 million for HBCU/MI summer research internship programs, cadet and faculty research initiatives, and related outreach activities.
This delivery order supports RDECOM's broader mission to develop and sustain the military's technological innovation capacity by engaging historically underrepresented academic institutions and students in defense-relevant research. The HBCU/MI Summer Research Internship Program provides undergraduate and graduate students from minority-serving institutions with hands-on experience in defense science and engineering fields, strengthening the pipeline of diverse talent for the defense industrial base. Chitra Productions' selection reflects its proven capability to manage complex educational programs across multiple military installations and its established relationships with the Army's research and development community, positioning the contractor to effectively execute internship program administration, curriculum development, and participant support services under this award.
