Is Mitre losing their FFRDC? That’s the only one who operates one for DHS…

Not true.

What’s not true?

HSSEDI is slated for a re-compete. DHS has another FFRDC with somebody that isn't Mitre (is it Anser?)

They have one with RAND and one with Batelle.

RAND's FFRDC w/ DHS is up for renewal soon

MITRE 's is up now. (And this is public and I'm not a contracting official.)

MIT/LL’s master contract with USD/R&E expires soon, and would need to be renewed. Lots of anxiety there about the delays with the renewal.

True for the DHS FFRDC that Mitre has, but (as PPs have noted above) Mitre has many different FFRDcs and most are not up for renewal just now.

No, that disclosure is not anti-competitive or otherwise improper…

Same with RAND. Lot of anxiety.

Incorrect. It’s disclosing internal deliberations about performer assessments on a public forum.

It was awarded last in 2022. It's a five year contract. What am I missing? Yes, they could end it anyway early, but it doesn't look up for renewal.

Any insight into whether JHU’s APL has been impacted yet re: layoffs, budget cuts etc? Would this be a bad place for a federal scientist in danger of being RIF’d to pursue employment?

I have no specific info but I certainly wouldn't go to a UARC.

Agree and there probably is another 5-yr option that could be exercised without a rebid.

It said nothing about performance assessment. There are many non-performance reasons that might drive a change in the structure.

Because they either get caught up Palantir's war on orgs that compete with industry for software development or the general anti- any contract that ends in a report sentiment.
