About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to The Ohio State University with a $3,000,000 ceiling on May 7, 2026. Other Transactions operate outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and grant DARPA authority to prototype and develop innovative technologies with streamlined acquisition flexibilities.
The OT IDV supports advanced research in nonlinear transducer systems and internal resonance phenomena aimed at overcoming velocity-constraint engineering challenges. This vehicle represents OSU's role as a parent-contract vehicle holder for advanced defense research, extending the university's substantial federal R&D footprint—which spans 274 distinct customer agencies and includes 7,879 awards with combined potential value of $442.6 million—into DARPA's prototype and innovation portfolio.
OSU's research capacity draws from its land-grant mission and emphasis on building internal delivery teams; across SCI-reportable service contracts, the institution retains approximately 91 percent of hours internally rather than subcontracting, signaling deep in-house technical capability in the research disciplines this OT IDV covers. The university's top funding agencies historically concentrate in NSF, NIH, and NASA, with substantial activity in life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and space research. This OT IDV diversifies OSU's defense sector engagement and leverages its established federal research infrastructure and compliance posture across a major research university operating as a prime awardee in 82 percent of recent awards.
