About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to Nexcepta Inc., a woman-owned small business, for $1,799,999.08 on April 10, 2026, under the Language Models for Veteran Suicide Prevention (LM4VSP) program. This OTA sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and operates under DARPA's authority to pursue prototype, research, and development efforts outside traditional procurement channels.
The agreement runs through April 10, 2029. Work is performed in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Language Models for Veteran Suicide Prevention program applies machine learning and natural language processing capabilities to suicide risk identification and prevention within the veteran population, leveraging Nexcepta's core competency in AI and machine learning development for defense applications.
Nexcepta operates as a prime contractor exclusively, with no identified subcontractor relationships on this or recent comparable awards. The company's DARPA portfolio historically centers on highest-risk defense innovation outside the SBIR/STTR pipeline, complementing its heavier concentration of awards from the Department of the Army, Missile Defense Agency, and Office of Naval Research. This represents the awardee's single DARPA OTA award on record and demonstrates expansion into mental health and veteran support applications beyond its traditional military communications and autonomous systems focus.
