About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to President And Fellows Of Harvard College with a ceiling of $2,349,845 on January 2, 2024. This OT vehicle sits outside the FAR and supports the Measurement-Based Quantum Information and Transduction (MEASQUIT) program. Harvard operates through its Office For Sponsored Research, bringing deep expertise in quantum information science and transduction technologies to address advanced research challenges critical to national defense objectives. The Other Transaction structure enables streamlined acquisition procedures suited to innovative, high-risk research efforts where rapid prototyping and development cycles are essential.
Under this IDV framework, DARPA issued a notable $15.2 million task order to develop countermeasures against radiation exposure leveraging Harvard's proprietary expertise in human organ chip technologies, specifically the Red Blood Cell Factory (RBC-Factory) initiative. The OT vehicle structure allows flexible task order issuance to address evolving research requirements aligned with emerging technology areas where traditional procurement methods would be less agile. This IDV reflects Harvard's established position as a premier research institution capable of executing complex, specialized research deliverables in quantum information and related advanced physics domains for federal agencies, particularly where federal funding for fundamental research intersects with defense-relevant innovation requirements.
