About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $1 million Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle to Rigetti & Co, LLC on March 7, 2025, under the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). This single-award vehicle, with no set-aside designation, establishes a strategic contracting mechanism through September 12, 2028, enabling DARPA to procure a range of quantum computing solutions and services from the prime contractor. The authorized deliverables under this vehicle include Rigetti Foundry Subscriptions, systems-driven component development for photon-superconductor multi-node quantum networks, and quantum computing license and application acceleration services. Performance will be conducted at Rigetti's Albany, California facility, leveraging the company's demonstrated expertise in superconducting qubit technology and quantum network development.
The Quantum Benchmarking Initiative vehicle positions Rigetti as a key technical partner for advancing the federal government's quantum computing capabilities within the Department of Defense research framework. Rigetti's established track record includes multiple prior engagements with the Air Force Research Laboratory, including a $5.845 million definitive cost-plus-no-fee contract for hybrid superconducting-optical quantum network node development and a $5 million Air Force IDV generating substantial task order activity for custom quantum fabrication and foundry services. The DARPA Other Transaction vehicle complements these existing vehicles and reflects recognition of Rigetti's unique technical capabilities in quantum information sciences, enabling flexible procurement of quantum computing solutions to support national defense research objectives through task order issuance against the established ceiling value.
