About this IDV
WD Advanced Materials, LLC (doing business as WD Lab Grown Diamonds) was awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on July 15, 2024, with a ceiling value of $4,963,771. This Other Transaction IDV, which carries no small business set-aside designation, is focused on the development and production of ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors for advanced electronics and power systems applications. As an Other Transaction agreement, this vehicle provides DARPA with regulatory flexibility in procuring innovative semiconductor materials and technologies that support cutting-edge defense technology development. The contract structure allows DARPA to issue task orders against the IDV ceiling as specific project requirements and funding become available, enabling the agency to advance semiconductor capabilities without requiring traditional firm fixed-price contract modifications.
WD Advanced Materials brings established technical expertise in advanced materials manufacturing and semiconductor technologies to this engagement, with prior demonstrated performance delivering specialized diamond substrates and quantum-grade materials to defense agencies including the Research Development and Engineering Command and the Office of Naval Research. The company's background in precision diamond plate manufacturing, combined with its Department of Energy-supported research in advanced material engineering, positions it to contribute to DARPA's objectives in ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor development. This IDV represents one of two significant Other Transaction vehicles awarded to the contractor by DARPA, complementing an existing $1,000,000 IDV focused on diamond homoepitaxial wafer manufacturing, collectively establishing WD Advanced Materials as a strategic supplier for DARPA's materials science and semiconductor initiatives.
