About this IDV
DARPA awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction IDV to The University of Chicago with a $1,250,000 ceiling on July 28, 2025, under "The Right Space - PDE to SDP" program. This OT IDV sits outside the FAR and operates under the statutory authority governing Other Transactions for prototype projects and follow-on production.
The University of Chicago, a private research institution, serves as the prime recipient on this vehicle and brings peer-reviewed research and scientific workforce development capability across materials science, quantum computing, and defense applications relevant to space-related prototype development and transition to scaled demonstration programs.
The contract supports DARPA's effort to advance prototype development and facilitate transition from prototype demonstration to scaled demonstration production within the space technology domain. The University of Chicago competes full-and-open across federal customers; it does not hold small business certifications and functions primarily as a grant recipient and research performer rather than as a traditional service contractor. The institution maintains limited reliance on multi-award government-wide vehicles compared to direct agency awards, with the majority of its federal revenue derived from peer-reviewed research grants concentrated at the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and NIAID.
