About this IDV
The Department of the Army awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Carnegie Mellon University's Office of Sponsored Programs with a ceiling value of $70 million and an ultimate completion date of April 6, 2025. The A4I Framework IDIQ, originating from an Army Research Laboratory Broad Agency Announcement posted in April 2017, establishes a vehicle for research and development services across artificial intelligence, autonomy, robotics, computer science, and advanced engineering disciplines. Carnegie Mellon University, a private research institution located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serves as the prime contractor with no set-aside designation applied. The underlying solicitation sought innovative proposals addressing fundamental research in mechanical sciences, mathematical sciences, electronics, computing science, physics, chemistry, life sciences, materials science, network science, and environmental sciences to enable new Army capabilities and improve existing technologies.
Under this parent IDIQ vehicle, the Army issued seven delivery orders totaling approximately $58.8 million through May 28, 2025, all structured as cost-no-fee arrangements performed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Task orders address specific research initiatives including the A4I Innovation Framework ($13.9 million), AI Fusion research supporting joint capability areas in battlespace awareness and command coordination ($5 million), Automated Target Recognition from Mobile Cooperative and Autonomous Sensors for robotic combat vehicle autonomy and perception systems ($16.2 million and $14 million across phases), Scalable Solutions for Social Cybersecurity ($1.05 million), Predictive Maintenance for Army helicopter operations using artificial intelligence and machine learning ($3.6 million), and Streamlined Collaborative AI Development ($4.2 million). These task orders leverage Carnegie Mellon's multidisciplinary research capabilities and academic partnerships with institutions including University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas at Austin, Georgia Tech, and Pennsylvania State University to deliver research outcomes, algorithm development, simulation platforms, and technical demonstrations supporting Army modernization and operational readiness objectives.
