About this IDV
The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $70 million to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on September 3, 2020, with completion by September 3, 2025. This base IDIQ contract, issued under Broad Agency Announcement W911NF-17-S-0003, supports research into accelerating human augmentation through artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. The contract was competitively awarded without set-aside designation and is performed at CMU's Office of Sponsored Programs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The underlying solicitation, posted April 1, 2017, sought basic and applied scientific research across multiple technical disciplines including computational sciences, engineering, life sciences, and materials science to develop innovative capabilities that enhance Army operational effectiveness and soldier performance.
Under this base IDIQ vehicle, RDECOM and other defense agencies have issued eight task orders totaling approximately $33.8 million, representing approximately 48 percent of the available ceiling. Delivered work encompasses human augmentation research for counter-weapons of mass destruction ($13.6M), situational awareness and human-autonomous systems teaming ($6.2M), satellite imagery and machine learning algorithm development ($3.0M), artificial intelligence fusion architectures ($350K), object detection and three-dimensional regression analysis ($2.2M), computational game theory and neuromorphic computing development ($820K), general human augmentation research ($1.65M), and enhanced decision support through robotics and edge artificial intelligence ($5.6M). Task orders utilize cost-no-fee and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures and engage CMU subcontractors including Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Missouri, and Aerospace Corporation. All task orders maintain competitive selection based on technical merit without small business set-asides.
