Minotaur Rapid Reaction Prototyping Engineering Support

The contract supports the continuous technological modernization of Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Office by enhancing airborne sensor processing and data dissemination capabilities to keep pace with rapid advancements in surveillance and detection technologies. Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, leveraging its longstanding partnership with AMO, will provide rapid prototyping and engineering support to deliver innovative solutions that strengthen operational effectiveness and mission readiness. This effort is critical to maintaining the agency’s capability to respond to evolving threats and to ensure seamless integration of new sensor technologies into existing systems. This is a sole-source acquisition under NAICS code 541330, awarded to JHU/APL based on its proven track record of delivering rapid reaction capabilities tailored to AMO’s specific needs. The work will be performed in Washington, District of Columbia, with primary point of contact Kenneth James available for program inquiries and David Harrod designated as the Small Business Specialist. The solicitation does not include a set-aside classification and was issued as a forecast without a formal solicitation number, indicating an ongoing, non-competitive procurement focused on sustaining mission-critical technological advancement.
