About this IDV
This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to Washington State University on May 27, 2025, with a ceiling value of $1.1 million, supports advanced engineering research focused on developing intrinsic toughness in hot forged aluminum-doped boron carbide ceramics. The contract, which was not set aside for any specific business type, enables task order issuance for the Intrinsically Tough and Affordable Ceramics Today (INTACT) program. Washington State University, a public land-grant research institution with extensive federal research capabilities, will leverage its scientific expertise to conduct engineering research aimed at improving the toughness and affordability of ceramic materials for defense applications through the hot forging of aluminum-enhanced boron carbide compositions.
The IDV structure allows DARPA to issue individual task orders as research milestones and objectives are identified, providing flexibility in resource allocation across the research program. While specific task order details, performance metrics, and period of performance terms are not detailed in the provided materials, this contract represents WSU's demonstrated capability to engage in high-level, defense-focused materials science and engineering research. The university's established track record in advanced technology development and collaboration with federal research agencies positions it to contribute to DARPA's objectives in developing next-generation ceramic materials with enhanced mechanical properties for potential defense and national security applications.
