About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Mbryonics LIMITED was awarded an Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on December 17, 2021, with a ceiling value of $12.5 million to support the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (SPACE-BACN) program. This award represents a non-traditional contracting vehicle, which DARPA utilizes to foster innovation and accelerate development of advanced defense technologies outside conventional procurement constraints. The IDV structure allows for task orders to be issued against the ceiling value throughout the contract performance period, providing flexibility in scope and scheduling as the research program evolves.

The SPACE-BACN program focuses on developing space-based communication infrastructure capable of adaptive network management and information relay across multiple operational domains. Under this IDV, Mbryonics LIMITED will deliver research, development, and engineering services supporting satellite-based communication nodes designed to enhance connectivity and data transmission for Department of Defense operations. No small business set-aside was employed for this award. The Other Transaction vehicle classification indicates the work will proceed under acquisition authority that permits greater flexibility in terms, conditions, and performance metrics compared to traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based contracts, enabling rapid prototyping and iterative development approaches characteristic of DARPA research initiatives.
