About this IDV
The U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to the University of California, Santa Barbara with a ceiling of $60 million on December 1, 2018, for the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies. The contract ultimately expired November 30, 2023.
Work is performed at UCSB's Santa Barbara, California location. The IDIQ procures fundamental and applied research across synthetic biology, materials science, quantum computing, photonics, and defense-relevant biotechnology. The solicitation originated as an Integrated Cognitive-Bionic research competition, drawing research proposals across disciplines including bioenabled materials, synthetic cell engineering, cognitive science, and advanced manufacturing.
UCSB, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Land Grant College, is the prime. Performance extended across a base period plus options through the contract's November 2023 expiration. The single-award vehicle generated task orders across fiscal years 2019 through 2026. An administrative task order valued at $14.43 million (awarded December 1, 2018) provided personnel, resources, and infrastructure for UARC operations through November 30, 2028. Substantive research task orders issued under this IDIQ include a $2.33 million task order on synthetic biology and cell-free systems engineering (February 2019); a $1.49 million task order on microbiome-brain interactions (February 2019); and task orders on tunable photonic materials ($700,000, August 2023), additive manufacturing ($825,000, August 2023), and bioenabled synthetic cells ($550,000, August 2023). A recent delivery order on macromolecular intelligence through nanostructured design valued at $485,824 was issued under Research Development and Engineering Command in February 2026 with completion by July 31, 2026. Subcontractors on substantive awards include Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. All task orders carried cost-no-fee pricing structures and no set-aside designations.
