About this IDV
DARPA awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Signature Science LLC with a ceiling of $30,454,757 on December 18, 2024, to support the Process Intensified Energetics (PIE) Flexible Energetics Production System research program. This OT vehicle operates outside FAR constraints, enabling flexible task-order engagement in advanced energetics research and development.
Signature Science brings specialized expertise in threat assessment, chemical and biological analysis, and advanced scientific services to the energetics production domain. The company operates as a for-profit subsidiary of the nonprofit Southwest Research Institute, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with operations in Austin, Texas. Signature Science competes full-and-open without reliance on small business set-asides and delivers work primarily through its own workforce, with minimal subcontractor reliance on research and development efforts.
The company's federal footprint spans multiple agencies, with significant existing work at DARPA (five awards, $69 million combined potential value across other vehicles), the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (45 awards, $257.6 million), and the Department of the Army Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense. Core capabilities center on chemical and biological threat assessment, genomic technology, critical infrastructure security research, and specialized research and development. Signature Science's federal service-contract invoicing totaled $25.3 million across fiscal years 2022–2024, with a stable workforce of 24–28 personnel.
