About this IDV
This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) was awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on May 22, 2024, with a ceiling value of $2.1 million. The contract represents a multiple-award vehicle with no set-aside designations, reflecting competitive procurement of advanced aerospace capabilities. The IDV designation references "Advanced Aircraft Infrastructure-Less Launch and Recovery (Ancillary)" and identifies it as a renaming of DCMA CMO S0303A under the DCMA GO FY25-23 initiative. As a child entity of Northrop Grumman Corporation, the awardee leverages its Aeronautics Systems division capabilities and established positions within the defense industrial base to support DARPA's research and development objectives in next-generation aircraft operations.
While specific task order details and performance locations are not provided in the sourced materials, the contract scope aligns with DARPA's strategic focus on reducing logistical infrastructure requirements for military aircraft operations through infrastructure-less launch and recovery technologies. Northrop Grumman's relevant expertise in autonomous systems, advanced aerospace components, and sophisticated electronic systems positions the contractor to support experimental development and prototyping efforts under this vehicle. The multiple-award structure suggests additional contractors may have received similar vehicles, enabling competitive task order competitions. The relatively modest ceiling value is consistent with DARPA's approach to targeted research initiatives, with task order values likely ranging based on specific technical requirements and milestones established through individual statements of work.
