About this IDV
DARPA awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction IDV to RTX BBN Technologies, Inc. with a $10.3 million ceiling on March 28, 2024. This OT IDV operates outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and serves as one of several DARPA OTA vehicles under which BBN Technologies performs advanced research and development.
RTX BBN Technologies is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based research and engineering subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation focused on quantum computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, communications technologies, and undersea warfare systems. The company has maintained a deep customer relationship with DARPA across 99 prior awards totaling $684.7 million in potential value, positioning it as a principal performer on DARPA research initiatives.
The OT IDV structure enables rapid task order issuance for prototype development and exploratory research outside standard FAR constraints. RTX BBN holds additional concurrent DARPA OTA vehicles for specialized programs including ARTEMIS BASE Rapid Resilience Response ($7.3 million), DONATELLO/CODORD ($2 million), PWND2 ($1.1 million), and XENA ($646 thousand), reflecting DARPA's reliance on multiple OTA mechanisms to accelerate research delivery across distinct technical domains. Work is performed across Cambridge (primary), Newport, Rhode Island, and field locations as required by task orders. RTX BBN's delivery model emphasizes direct performance with minimal subcontractor leverage, consistent with its positioning as a primary applied research performer rather than a systems integrator.
