About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction IDV to The Pennsylvania State University on April 14, 2025, with a ceiling of $1,996,460 to develop resilient phononic frequency combs for inertial sensing. Other Transactions operate outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation, providing DARPA flexibility in prototype and research contracting.
Penn State, a major public land-grant research institution, brings materials science and advanced engineering capabilities to inertial sensing innovation. The university's federal contracting portfolio includes substantial engagement with the Department of Defense across defense research, advanced materials, and systems integration work; Penn State's recent delivery orders with defense agencies total over $250 million in recent fiscal years, primarily structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee awards with the Office of Naval Research, Naval Sea Systems Command, and other DoD entities supporting research in submarine technology, ceramic transducers, and specialized materials processing.
This Other Transaction IDV sits as a parent vehicle, enabling DARPA to issue task orders and delivery orders as phononic frequency comb research and prototype efforts proceed.
