Description
COLUMBIA CLASS TESTING PROGRAM
Score Rationale
Award description contains zero mention of AI, ML, or any algorithmic work—'Columbia Class Testing Program' is a naval submarine testing contract with no AI/ML techniques named or implied. Problem framing is purely administrative (testing program execution) with no operational problem articulated. Awardee is Johns Hopkins APL, a large federally funded research center (FFRDC), the opposite of an AI-native startup; this is legacy defense infrastructure spending.
