AI Contract Overview

The contract involves an increase in the ceiling amount for Contract N66001-18-C-4021 awarded to Metron Incorporated by SSC Pacific on behalf of DARPA's Strategic Technology Office. The effort centers on developing an Operad-based Optimization Framework designed to enable dynamic composition of force packages, task organizations, and tactics for urban operations, supporting rapid adaptation to evolving mission requirements. This contract enhancement focuses specifically on expanding composability features within Metron's framework to address Marine Corps needs, including automated assembly of communications networks and logistics plans tailored for urban combat scenarios. The work supports the integration of battlefield object data and functional outcomes across multiple technical areas to facilitate adaptive, resilient planning through advanced algorithms. The additional funding, approximately $799,618, reflects unforeseen requirements typical of research and development efforts that DARPA could not quantify at the contract's inception. This increase will be executed under the current contract without competition, though public comments are solicited for a 15-day period. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541715, indicating research and development services in physical, engineering, and life sciences. The contracting office is located in San Diego, CA, and the government retains discretion over whether to pursue competition based on any responses received.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-18-C-4021 to Metron Incorporated, awarded by SSC Pacific on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Strategic Technology Office (STO) on 21 February 2018. The performers effort, Operad-based Optimization Framework for Dynamic Composition of Force Packages and Tactics for Urban Operations which was selected as a Technical Area 2 (TA2): Functional Compiler performer to support STO by providing an integrated dynamic composition capability to construct adaptive force packages, task organizations, and tactics (TTPs) on the fly to meet rapidly evolving mission needs. The TA2 functional compiler will provide the integrated dynamic composition by pulling battle space objects from the TA3: Systems for Functions parametric data services and provide recommendations to the TA1: Composable Operations Development Environment. TA2 performers will provide a set of capabilities that will identify constraints, mix and match systems to provide desired functional outcomes, integrate systems with novel interoperability approaches, and provide adaptive planning to maximize resilience using mathematically principled approaches and algorithms. This additional effort is to provide additional composability in Metron Incorporateds framework to address Marine Corps requirements to include automated composition of communications networks and logistics plans to support urban combat missions. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541715. Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA STO could not have reasonably estimated the need for the additional effort required under this effort, that will benefit from this additional tasking being included under the current contract. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $799,618.00. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes, however, interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Veronica Velarde, Code 22720, Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific who may be reached by telephone at +1 (555) 000-0000 or via email to contact@example.gov. This notice will be posted for fifteen (15) days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
