The Defense Information Systems Agency has awarded the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory a potential five-year, $250 million contract to provide operations research and engineering services to help enhance military capabilities.
DISA IDIQ Contract Scope
In addition to operations research services, DISA said Monday the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract awarded by the agency’s Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization-National Capital Region also covers advanced scenario modeling and systems assessment support.
Under the IDIQ contract, Johns Hopkins APL will provide all Department of Defense Fourth Estate Agencies and field activities and U.S. combatant commands with engineering support and other capabilities to help them validate concepts and deploy field-ready systems.
According to the release, the government also benefits from APL’s cyber resilience tools, real-time operational analytics, autonomous systems and decision optimization capabilities, which could help improve battlefield readiness.
The DISA Acquisitions Enterprise Licensing Agreement Program Management Office is the program manager for the IDIQ contract, which seeks to reduce acquisition timelines to rapidly respond to warfighter requirements.
In 2019, DISA awarded APL a $245 million contract for research, development and engineering services.
