NPR tells us that DARPA is turning 50 this week.
My company has a contract or two with DARPA, so we're considering a tasteful bouquet. And maybe some chocolates.
Of course, as one of the tech staff pointed out: We would only want to do that if there was a low probability of success for getting the card out the door, and a high payoff if we did happen to succeed in getting the card to them.

Of course, since you are doing business with DARPA, you would have to make sure that the value of the gift was less than $20. 5 CFR 2635.204(a). Although if the bouquet was over $20 in value, and not practical to return (because it's perishable, etc) then the office supervisor may permit it to be shared within the recipient office. 5 CFR 2635.205(a)(2).
Chocolates, of course, should be sent directly to me.
The ethics guy ...
