Description
THIS IS A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) - SERVICE FOR NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND ANALYSIS. THE TOTAL TASK ORDER AMOUNT IS $47,259,313.17 WITH A PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE THROUGH 30 AUGUST 2023. THIS TASK ORDER WILL BE INCREMENTALLY FUNDED. THE INITIAL INCREMENT OF FUNDING IS $629,000.00 WITH A PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE THROUGH 06 SEPTEMBER 2019.
Score Rationale
This is a generic systems engineering and analysis contract with zero mention of AI, ML, algorithms, or technical deliverables—only 'national security systems engineering' boilerplate. Problem framing is purely administrative (R&D services, incremental funding structure) with no articulation of an operational challenge or end-user need. Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp is an FFRDC-adjacent entity (university research corporation), not an AI-native startup, and the contract structure (large total value, incremental funding, vague scope) signals legacy professional services rather than focused AI development.
