About this IDV
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) established the Open Technology & Agility for Innovation (OTAFI) Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) as a multiple-award agreement with a $499 million ceiling value, effective September 16, 2021. This vehicle was awarded to Sossec, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Salem, New Hampshire, without set-aside restrictions, enabling flexible procurement of advanced research, engineering, and technical services supporting defense innovation objectives. The OTAFI IDV provides the AFRL with authority to issue task orders for prototype development, systems engineering, software solutions, and technical services across emerging technology domains. Sossec's role as a prime contractor under this vehicle positions the company to coordinate consortium partnerships and rapidly execute complex technical initiatives aligned with Air Force modernization priorities, with demonstrated experience in autonomous systems, antenna prototypes, 5G testbed development, and communications technologies.
Under the OTAFI IDV, Sossec has executed multiple task orders valued collectively in excess of $170 million across diverse defense modernization initiatives. Representative efforts include a $44.6 million STITCHES War Fighter Application and Sub Systems (SWAS-P) prototype development program for Air Force Materiel Command; a $39.5 million Advanced Autonomous Systems (AAS) prototypes award from the Office of Naval Research; a $33.8 million Autonomous Systems Prototyping and Experimentation (ASPE) effort for Naval Sea Systems Command; a $29.8 million Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Multi-Band Communications Prototype supporting space domain awareness objectives; and multiple communications and computing infrastructure initiatives including 5G prototypes, software-defined radio systems, and DevOps cloud platform development. Task order work has been performed across domestic locations including Nashua and Salem, New Hampshire; Gulfport, Mississippi; Leonardtown, Maryland; Morgan, Utah; and Rome, New York, with completion dates extending through September 2027. These awards reflect AFRL's utilization of the Other Transaction authority to accelerate development of innovative defense technologies while leveraging Sossec's established subcontractor relationships with industry partners such as Lockheed Martin, Southwest Research Institute, and HII Mission Technologies Corp.
