About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a Multiple Award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) to the University of Texas at Austin on May 20, 2024, with a ceiling value of $1,000,000.00 and no set-aside designation. The contract vehicle supports research and development activities focused on loss-resilient Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states enabled by ultrafast photon number resolving (PNR) detection. This work falls within DARPA's advanced research initiatives to develop quantum computing and quantum information processing technologies. As a public research institution with extensive federal research capabilities, the University of Texas at Austin was selected as the prime contractor to execute this specialized research effort leveraging its demonstrated expertise in quantum computing, sensor technology, and advanced manufacturing.
The IDV structure provides flexible acquisition mechanisms enabling DARPA to issue task orders for ongoing quantum computing research activities as project milestones and technical requirements evolve throughout the performance period. The University of Texas at Austin's role as prime contractor encompasses research translation, technical analysis, and specialized research support aligned with DARPA's strategic priorities in quantum information science. The university's established track record of executing multimillion-dollar research awards and its institutional strength in advanced technological domains position it to deliver complex research and development services supporting the government's quantum computing advancement objectives. Task order details and specific deliverables under this IDV will be determined through the delivery order issuance process as DARPA defines discrete research objectives and performance requirements.
