About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) to the Regents of the University of Michigan on December 15, 2023, with a ceiling value of $2,915,321.00. This non-set-aside contract establishes a framework for research and development activities focused on passive surface drag reduction technologies utilizing closed-loop texture design methodologies and drag-reducing architected geometries (DRAG). The University of Michigan will deliver this work through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division, leveraging the institution's extensive research infrastructure and interdisciplinary engineering expertise to advance innovations in surface modification technologies applicable to defense-related objectives. The contract does not include any small business or socioeconomic set-aside provisions, reflecting competitive open procurement practices.
The IDV structure enables flexible task order issuance to support DARPA's research priorities in advanced materials and surface engineering. As a leading research institution with annual research expenditures exceeding $1.77 billion, the University of Michigan possesses demonstrated capabilities in specialized research and innovation across engineering domains, positioning it to deliver cutting-edge solutions for drag reduction applications with potential implications for aerospace, maritime, and vehicle performance optimization. The indefinite delivery vehicle mechanism allows for scalable deployment of research resources and personnel against specific technical objectives within the established ceiling value, supporting DARPA's research agenda while maintaining flexibility in scheduling and task order placement throughout the contract performance period.
