About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded this Other Transaction (OT) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) IDV to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on July 15, 2024, with a ceiling value of $739,234. The contract, titled "Automated Discovery of Computational Imaging Systems" (AUTOCI), represents a multiple-award procurement with no set-aside restrictions applied. As a parent-level IDV contract, this vehicle establishes a flexible framework enabling DARPA to issue task orders for advanced research and development services across multiple scientific and technological domains without predefined task orders or fixed pricing structures. MIT, a premier private research institution and experienced federal contractor, will leverage its extensive research capabilities to support DARPA's objectives in computational imaging and related technological innovation.
The AUTOCI contract aims to procure research and development services focused on automated discovery methodologies for computational imaging systems. This OT IDV vehicle provides DARPA with procurement flexibility to rapidly develop, prototype, and transition emerging imaging technologies while circumventing constraints associated with traditional fixed-price or cost-reimbursable contracting arrangements. MIT's demonstrated expertise in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced materials science, and cutting-edge engineering positions the institution as a strategic partner for DARPA's innovation initiatives. The indefinite-quantity structure allows DARPA to issue task orders as requirements materialize, enabling responsive research execution aligned with national defense priorities in computational imaging technology development and deployment.
