The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory has secured a potential $388.8 million contract modification from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to continuously procure essential research, development and engineering services.
JHU APL & DARPA Contract Details
The Department of Defense said Friday the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract covers R&D and engineering work to facilitate the transition of projects from theories and findings to applied technologies.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the university-affiliated research center will conduct work in its Laurel, Maryland, facility. The project, including all task orders, is expected to be completed by November 2027. The latest deal raises the contract’s cumulative value from $740 million to $1.1 billion. DARPA will not allocate any funds at the time of award.
Previous Contract Modification
In May 2024, Johns Hopkins APL received a $515 million contract modification to continue providing DARPA with R&D and engineering capabilities. At the time, the contract’s total value reached $740 million. The initial $225 contract was awarded in November 2021.
