About this IDV
The University of Chicago was awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on January 2, 2024, with a ceiling value of $1.0 million to support the Measurement-Based Quantum Information and Transduction (MEASQUIT) program. As a non-set-aside competitive award, this IDV establishes a framework enabling DARPA to issue task orders throughout the period of performance for specialized research services and scientific expertise. The University of Chicago, a leading private research institution with demonstrated capabilities in quantum computing, advanced materials, sensing technologies, and defense-related research and development, will deliver innovative quantum research and transduction services aligned with national defense priorities. The flexible Other Transaction authority permits rapid task order execution and adaptation to emerging defense research requirements, allowing the government to leverage the university's institutional expertise efficiently.
Under this IDV vehicle, the University of Chicago will provide research and development services supporting DARPA's quantum information science objectives through multiple task orders to be issued on an as-needed basis. The university's substantial experience in quantum technologies—including molecular quantum sensors, superconducting membranes, and quantum computing research—positions it to contribute technical expertise across MEASQUIT research initiatives. The $1.0 million ceiling establishes the maximum obligational authority under this parent IDV, with individual task orders to define specific deliverables, performance milestones, and resource allocation for discrete research efforts. This procurement mechanism enables DARPA to address evolving quantum information transduction challenges while maintaining access to the university's advanced research infrastructure and cross-disciplinary scientific teams.
