About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a multiple-award Other Transaction IDV to Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Collins Aerospace Government Systems) on January 6, 2025, under 10 U.S.C. § 4023 authority for experimental items and support as part of the Crayon Box Program, with an agreement ceiling of $14,604,890. This OT IDV sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and operates under statutory authority for experimental acquisitions tied to advanced defense research prototyping and innovation initiatives.
Collins Aerospace Government Systems, a large business subsidiary of RTX Corporation, delivers avionics, communications systems, electronic warfare equipment, and mission-critical defense electronics. The division manufactures radio systems, receiver-transmitters, navigation equipment, and specialized aerospace components with primary performance locations in Cedar Rapids and Coralville, Iowa; Richardson, Texas; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Edwards Air Force Base, California.
The Crayon Box Program leverages Collins Aerospace's core capability in advanced communications, electronic systems, and avionics engineering to support DARPA's experimental development efforts. The company's established track record includes delivery of secure communications systems, aviation-platform electronics, and next-generation tactical systems across Naval Air, Air Force, and intelligence-sensor communities.
As a multiple-award vehicle, this OT IDV positions Collins Aerospace to compete for task orders supporting DARPA's rapid prototyping and advanced technology demonstrations within the experimental items scope. Recent representative work includes production of C/KC-135 avionics systems, very low frequency receivers for B-52 platforms, and mounted assured positioning and navigation systems, demonstrating the technical foundation applicable to DARPA's research priorities in experimental defense technologies.
