About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Purdue University with a ceiling value of $8,775,915 on August 13, 2025, to support the Microsystems Induced Catalysis (MICA) Program. This OT IDV, which sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation, enables DARPA to issue multiple task orders to fund research and development activities focused on creating advanced modeling and simulation tools and fabrication techniques for controlling the catalytic activity of molecular catalysts at the microsystems level.
Purdue University, a land-grant research institution headquartered in West Lafayette, Indiana, brings extensive interdisciplinary research infrastructure and demonstrated expertise in advanced materials, defense technology, and federal research execution to this vehicle. The university's established track record as a prime contractor across complex federal research initiatives in defense and advanced technology domains positions it as the performer for this high-risk, high-payoff DARPA research effort.
The vehicle's structure provides DARPA procurement flexibility to direct funding toward discrete research objectives within the broader MICA program scope, accommodating both cost-reimbursement and fixed-price task order arrangements suited to the exploratory nature of catalytic systems research. No task orders have been issued under this IDV as of the source date.
