About this IDV
Phase Four, Inc., a small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Hawthorne, California, was awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on March 7, 2024, with a ceiling value of $14.87 million and no set-aside restrictions. The IDV provides a flexible contracting mechanism for Phase Four to deliver advanced electric propulsion systems and related technologies for spacecraft across multiple DARPA research programs and projects. The scope of work encompasses continued maturation of catalytic propellant decomposition chambers, solar electric propulsion system development, space pitch day services, and prototype manufacturing efforts. Places of performance include the contractor's facilities in Hawthorne and El Segundo, California. This vehicle builds upon Phase Four's extensive prior performance under Small Business Innovation Research awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory and DARPA, including Phase II and Phase III contracts valued between $748,598 and $1.8 million focusing on high delta-v electric propulsion systems, catalytic propellant decomposition technology, and ascent propellant flight development.
The IDV award reflects DARPA's confidence in Phase Four's technological capabilities and program execution performance in advanced space propulsion technologies, positioning the contractor to support strategic defense and space research objectives. Phase Four's contract portfolio demonstrates consistent innovation in electric propulsion solutions designed to enhance in-space maneuverability and operational capabilities for small satellites and space vehicles. The company's established track record of successful federal research and development contract performance since its SAM.gov registration in February 2015 provides a foundation for this substantial expansion of engagement with federal defense and space research agencies. The Other Transaction vehicle structure enables DARPA to procure advanced propulsion technologies and related services through task orders while maintaining flexibility in program execution and performance requirements across multiple research initiatives.
