About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a contract modification to increase the ceiling of an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) from $740,000,000 to $1,128,800,000, representing a $388,800,000 increase. The contract provides research and development services in critical defense areas including Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), advanced modeling, chemical and biological warfare defense, and information assurance. DARPA justified the sole source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3)(B) based on JHU/APL's status as a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) with unique capabilities that are not readily available from other sources, particularly in strategic systems test and evaluation, submarine security, space science engineering, combat and guided missile systems, and theatre air defense. The contract was awarded on June 12, 2025, to maintain critical engineering and research capabilities essential to national defense without requiring full competitive bidding. The total contract ceiling now stands at over $1.1 billion, reflecting DARPA's substantial investment in maintaining these specialized research and development capabilities through JHU/APL's established core competencies.
