About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees with a ceiling of $1,060,332.00 on June 17, 2025, for the SHIELD program (Self-Assembled-Monolayer-Hafnium Interfaces for Enhanced Longevity and Durability). The OT operates outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and supports advanced materials research focused on hafnium-based interface engineering to enhance component durability and performance in defense applications.
UCF's Office of Research Division brings deep capabilities in materials science, advanced manufacturing, and defense-relevant testing infrastructure, including specialized photonics and materials characterization laboratories in the Orlando, Florida area. The university operates as a sustained federal research partner across engineering, directed energy, space technologies, and biomedical sciences, competing on technical merit as a Hispanic-serving public research institution without set-aside restrictions.
The OT IDV structure positions UCF to conduct prototype development and rapid iteration on hafnium interface systems, drawing on institutional research facilities and multi-disciplinary engineering teams. This vehicle complements UCF's broader DARPA portfolio and represents one of several defense-focused research vehicles the institution manages, including cooperative agreements and grants spanning hypersonic systems, space technologies, and advanced materials development.
