About this award
The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded a delivery order valued at approximately $4.96 million to Chitra Productions LLC, a Virginia Beach-based women-owned small business, for the HBCU/MI Summer Research Internship and Student Program for Army Research and Knowledge (SPARK) Internship initiatives. The contract, designated as a HUBZone set-aside and structured as Cost Plus Fixed Fee, will be performed in Norfolk, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of December 13, 2027. These programs support the Army's commitment to broadening participation in STEM research and development by engaging students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in meaningful research opportunities aligned with military science and technology priorities.
Chitra Productions brings substantial experience delivering STEM education and research support services to RDECOM, having received over $28 million in prior awards for similar summer internship programs, cadet and faculty research initiatives, and STEM education outreach initiatives under various set-aside designations. The contractor's established track record across the Department of Defense in training development, program management, and professional services delivery—supported by six active indefinite delivery vehicles with combined ceilings exceeding $1.7 billion—positions it to effectively manage recruitment, curriculum development, mentorship coordination, and research administration functions essential to these critical workforce development programs.
