Description
DARPA RESEARCH PROGRAM SUPPORT SERVICES
Score Rationale
This is a support services contract for DARPA program administration, not an AI development award. The description contains no mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or systems; 'DARPA RESEARCH PROGRAM SUPPORT SERVICES' is generic procurement language for facilities, logistics, or administrative overhead. Johns Hopkins APL is an FFRDC (federally funded research center) — a legacy research institution, not an AI-native startup — making this a traditional cost-plus research support contract rather than a venture-style technology procurement.
