Registered in SAM.gov since October 2012, the company brings significant expertise in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, networking, microelectronics, and cybersecurity to support national defense and intelligence missions. Intel Federal maintains an active federal contracting presence with both prime contract and grant awards across the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, and civilian federal departments.

Intel Federal LLC has received substantial prime federal contract awards totaling over $50 million in recent years, reflecting its strategic importance in developing cutting-edge defense technologies. The company was awarded a $20.6 million Other Transaction Agreement from the U.S. Air Force for the RAZORBAC program, focused on advanced computing capabilities and with performance through March 2028. Intel Federal also received a $21.6 million definitive contract from the Army Research Office and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity for the Advanced Graphic Intelligence Logical Computing Environment program, which seeks to develop novel computer architectures capable of processing large-scale data analytics and graph workloads significantly faster than current systems. Additionally, the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded the company a $1.8 million definitive contract for the Intel 5G Secure Slice solution to advance 5G implementation at Department of Defense sites, as well as a $2 million purchase order modification for security enhancements related to DARPA's Project PRONTO, a 5G network development initiative. The company also received an $8.6 million contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory for advanced computational capabilities supporting command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications. A minor prime contract award included a $100,000 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center for executive leadership training services through the ASPIRE program. Intel Federal serves as a subcontractor to major defense and research institutions, including Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for hardware development, Booz Allen Hamilton for direct U.S. government business support, and Stanford University for the DARPA-funded Project PRONTO 5G network initiative. None of these contract awards utilized set-aside designations, indicating unrestricted full and open competition.

Intel Federal LLC maintains an active federal grant portfolio, having received multiple cooperative agreements supporting advanced technology research and development. The company received a cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) for the COOLERCHIPS project, with an award value of approximately $2.4 million, focused on developing energy-efficient cooling operations for high-performance computing systems through two-phase immersion cooling and advanced thermal management technologies. The company holds a cooperative agreement with the Research Development and Engineering Command for the Intel-LPS Qubit Collaboratory, involving silicon/silicon-germanium and germanium/silicon-germanium qubit development, with performance extending through October 2026. Intel Federal also received a cooperative agreement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency supporting research on advanced computing technologies and services related to hardware security, cryogenic computing, and resilient communications systems, with performance through February 2023. The company has functioned as a subgrantee to Yale University under DARPA's IDEA program, evaluating and validating asynchronous design tools and providing technical feedback to improve tool quality and promote convergence in the asynchronous design research community. Additionally, Intel Federal serves as a subgrantee to the University of California, Santa Barbara on an ARPA-E project, supporting the development of Silicon Photonics technology for high-speed optical communications, including integrated transceiver chip design, fabrication, characterization, and technology-to-market planning for data center applications.

Intel Federal LLC holds multiple significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle agreements with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, establishing flexible contracting mechanisms for rapid prototyping and exploration of high-risk, high-payoff defense technologies. The company maintains a $46.5 million Other Transaction IDV for the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node program, supporting development of satellite-based communications technologies to enhance military command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities in contested environments. Intel Federal also holds a $33.2 million Other Transaction IDV for the Processor Reconfiguration for Wideband Sensor Systems program focused on advanced computing technologies for sensor systems integration. The company possesses a $14.4 million Other Transaction IDV for the Low Temperature Logic Technology project supporting cryogenic computing prototype development and a $13 million Other Transaction IDV for the H6 program directed at developing ultra-small, low-power fieldable clocks with microsecond timing precision. Additional DARPA IDVs include a $6.5 million Other Transaction agreement for the Harden Intelligence program supporting hardware, software, research, and technical services across high-performance computing and artificial intelligence applications; a $5.7 million Other Transaction IDV for the I-TERA program focusing on terahertz radio technologies and packaging; a $3.2 million Other Transaction IDV for the TRACTOR program involving translation of C programming language software to Rust; and a $2 million Other Transaction IDV for the RACER-SIM program developing an advanced simulation environment for autonomous construction robotics. These IDV awards, which carry no set-aside designations, enable task order issuance and provide Intel Federal with flexible engagement mechanisms to support DARPA's mission of developing transformative defense capabilities across multiple technology domains.
