This document is a Baseline Model Contract Addendum that details supplemental contract clauses for different contract value thresholds. The clauses apply cumulatively to contracts of increasing dollar amounts, with specific additional requirements for contracts exceeding $2M, $5M, $6M, and $15M. Notable requirements include provisions for large and small businesses, cost accounting standards, business ethics, security requirements, and special considerations for contracts involving classified information or educational institutions.

The accompanying federal contract opportunity is the Securing Artificial Intelligence for Battlefield Effective Robustness (SABER) solicitation from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The program aims to develop an AI red team capable of operationally assessing vulnerabilities in AI-enabled military systems, particularly autonomous ground and aerial platforms. The solicitation seeks performers to help survey, evaluate, and develop advanced techniques for testing AI systems, including physical, adversarial AI, cyber, and electronic warfare approaches. A key objective is to establish a sustainable operational AI red teaming process for the Department of Defense, targeting AI systems potentially deployable within the next 1-3 years.
