This federal contract award, valued at $74,099.27, was issued by the Bureau of Arms Control Verification and Compliance, a civilian agency within the U.S. government. The prime contractor is The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
The contract supports research and development work by Columbia University, a renowned private research institution. Columbia University has a long history of collaborating with government agencies, including the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Department of Energy, to advance knowledge and innovation through both federal contracts and grants. The university's contract work often involves theoretical modeling, laboratory experiments, data analysis, and technology prototyping to address complex scientific challenges and support national security objectives.
In addition to this specific contract, Columbia University holds an Other Transaction Instrument (OTI) awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) with a potential value of $999,990. This OTI supports research on electron-doping-induced, large-index, low-loss modulation of visible light using perovskite nickelate alloys, with the aim of developing new electro-optic materials for potential applications in photonics and optical communications.
