About this IDV
Aptima Inc., a small business headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $19 million with the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), a defense agency, for research and development services supporting Army personnel development and training in complex environments. The contract, awarded on June 8, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of December 7, 2023, operates without a small business set-aside designation. The IDV serves as the parent vehicle enabling the Army to issue delivery orders for specialized research, development, and analysis services focused on enhancing leader competency assessment, training system validation, and soldier readiness through human-centered research methodologies. Aptima's core competencies—including cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence applications, training systems development, and performance analytics—align with the contract's stated objectives of advancing personnel development capabilities across complex operational environments.
The underlying delivery orders issued against this IDV total approximately $8.9 million and reflect a portfolio of Small Business Innovation Research Phase III actions, predominantly structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements, with work performed at Aptima's Woburn, Massachusetts facility. Representative task orders address research initiatives including the development and psychometric evaluation of interactive leader assessment technologies, validation of competency frameworks for non-commissioned officer professional military education, cyber-electromagnetic cognitive competency measures, collective skills assessment tools, and job aids supporting soldier readiness during contingency periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The delivery orders demonstrate the Army's iterative approach to transitioning SBIR-funded research innovations into operational tools and supporting broader Army personnel development strategy, with individual order values ranging from approximately $99,463 to $1.9 million and completion dates extending through 2025.
