R -- Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) Limited-Term Business Consultant

Fifteen days after the publication of this Notice, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) intends to issue a purchase order to Mr. Richard L. Dunn, for advisory and assistance services relative to the management and administration of novel business agreements the J-UCAS program office has or will have in place with Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and the yet to be named Integrator-Broker contractor. These contractual arrangements will have all been awarded as Other Transaction Agreements under the Section 845 authority. They are all highly complex agreements that include unique, tailored terms and conditions. During his tenure as DARPA General Counsel, Mr. Dunn was instrumental in crafting the legislation that Congress approved granting DARPA its Other Transaction authority. Additionally, Mr. Dunn was involved in the planning and negotiating of a number of the most novel of these agreements. As a result of his extensive experience in business matters relative to planning, negotiating, and executing Section 845 Other Transaction Agreements, Mr. Dunn is uniquely qualified to provide the required services. This notice is not a solicitation of any kind, nor is it a request for proposals. The DARPA point of contact, if necessary, is Mark Bennington, Contracting Officer at [email protected].
