About this award

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has been awarded an Other Transaction Agreement valued at $3.92 million by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to support the CMU Prototype project. The work will be performed at CMU's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania campus and is scheduled for completion by September 29, 2029. This competitively awarded contract, with no set-aside designation, leverages CMU's established capabilities in advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, and computational research to address critical defense-related innovation needs.

The award reflects CMU's strong track record of delivering sophisticated technical solutions to the Department of Defense and affiliated agencies such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). CMU's Office of Sponsored Programs will manage this effort as a parent contract, building on the university's demonstrated expertise in developing cutting-edge research and technological innovations. Other Transaction Agreements offer the federal government greater flexibility in contracting with innovative organizations outside traditional acquisition mechanisms, making them particularly suited for exploratory research and prototype development that supports national security priorities.
