Description
DARPA RESEARCH PROGRAM SUPPORT SERVICES
Score Rationale
This is a generic DARPA support services contract with no AI/ML deliverables specified—'research program support services' is administrative overhead language. Problem framing is absent; there is no operational objective, end-user need, or success metric articulated. The awardee is Johns Hopkins APL, a federally funded research center (FFRDC) and legacy defense institution, not an AI-native startup, making this purely institutional funding rather than evidence of AI-native procurement.
