- Description
- This is a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-15-C-4024 with Applied Brain Research (ABR), awarded by SSC Pacific on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) on 17 March 2015 for a performance period of fifteen (15) months. Under this contract, ABR supports the DARPA Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) by developing and demonstrating an approach to machine learning that is continuous in time and state, and hence is able to learn much more accurately and faster than traditional approaches. This increase in effort is proposed to (1) examine the performance of the spiking neural networks on the larger data set ImageNet, and (2) develop an integrated cognitive model with new perceptual and motor systems and finally (3) enhance the model so it is able to follow explicitly provided instructions on-the-fly. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712. Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA could not have reasonably estimated the results of the research from this contract, as new partners have become available requiring an expanded developmental effort. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $285,285 with a nine month extension to the Period of Performance. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes and will be posted for 15 days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Mr. Larry Hartpence, Code 22530, SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific who may be reached by telephone at (619) 553-4506 or via email to larry.hartpence@navy.mil.
