About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Trustees of Tufts College with a ceiling of $4,558,800 on December 13, 2024, to support the Biological Technologies Office's SWITCH program and the Stability Targeted Engineering of Advanced Microbes (PROJECT STEAM) initiative. This OT vehicle operates outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and provides flexibility for innovative, high-risk research aligned with DARPA's strategic priorities in biological and microbial systems development. Tufts University brings substantial capability in biomedical sciences and advanced microbial research, with demonstrated federal track record spanning NSF grants for chemically-diversified antibody development, NINDS funding for stem cell tools, and recent DARPA awards for microsystems research and development. The OT IDV framework enables task order issuance for prototype development and research initiatives that may extend beyond standard contracting structures, supporting DARPA's exploration of engineered microorganisms and biological technologies for defense applications.
