About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded this Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery (IDV) contract to The Trustees of The University of Pennsylvania on October 16, 2023, with a ceiling value of $362,293.00. The contract supports advanced research in synthetic quantum nanostructures and topological quantum-limited amplifiers based on nonlinear superconducting Josephson metamaterials. As a parent-level IDV with no set-aside designation, this contract leverages the University of Pennsylvania's multidisciplinary research capabilities to deliver specialized quantum physics research and development services aligned with DARPA's strategic technology priorities. The University of Pennsylvania, a leading private research institution with extensive experience supporting federal research contracts across multiple agencies including DARPA, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation, is well-positioned to execute this highly technical research agenda.
The contract enables DARPA to access the university's specialized research infrastructure and expertise for advancing quantum technologies with potential applications to national security and defense capabilities. Given the technical focus on quantum nanostructures and superconducting metamaterials, the deliverables under this IDV are anticipated to include research findings, prototype development, technical documentation, and evaluation of quantum amplification technologies. The university's established track record managing complex research initiatives, including a previous $1.4 million DARPA Other Transaction Agreement for the ALERT WARFIGHTER ENABLEMENT (AWARE) program, demonstrates organizational capacity to manage flexible research delivery models and produce results within specialized scientific domains critical to defense research objectives.
