Blanket Purchase Agreement FA701420A0018

Barbaricum LLC was awarded a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Defense Information Systems Agency to provide artificial intelligence support services. Under two firm fixed price BPA call orders, Barbaricum will deliver AI-related products and services to the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center totaling nearly $6 million. The first order, valued at $3 million, was awarded as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside and calls for Barbaricum to support the JAIC through August 2023 at Fort Meade, Maryland. The second order, valued at $2.4 million, was awarded without a set-aside to the prime contractor for analysis, plans, and program support to efficiently adopt advanced data, analytics, and AI capabilities through September 2024 in Washington, D.C. Both orders aim to leverage new technologies to enhance Defense Department operations through the JAIC, DOD's center for developing and integrating artificial intelligence.

The Blanket Purchase Agreement established Barbaricum as eligible to fulfill artificial intelligence requirements on an as-needed basis across the Defense Information Systems Agency. The two initial orders awarded to the prime contractor focus on delivering AI-related products and services in support of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center's mission to accelerate the delivery and adoption of AI/machine learning within the Department of Defense. Work will be performed at locations in Maryland and Washington, D.C. through 2023 and 2024.
