Description
DARPA RESEARCH PROGRAM SUPPORT SERVICES
Score Rationale
This is a generic research support services contract with no AI/ML deliverables named or implied — 'research program support services' is administrative overhead language, not a technical system. The awardee is Johns Hopkins APL, a government FFRDC (Federally Funded Research and Development Center), which disqualifies it as AI-native. The entire framing lacks specificity: no operational problem, no success criteria, no technical approach — this reads as a blanket funding vehicle for lab operations, not evidence of AI-native defense procurement.
