About this IDV
This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (OT IDV) agreement, awarded to Robotic Research Opco, LLC (doing business as Forterra) on April 20, 2023, establishes a $25.67 million ceiling for the development and delivery of autonomous vehicle systems and software solutions for ground-based robotic platforms. The contract is funded by the United States Air Force and includes provisions for in-scope modifications and the exercise of options. As a non-set-aside award, this IDV is open to full and open competition. The primary scope encompasses the design, development, and integration of modular software pathways for robotic combat vehicles, with particular emphasis on enhancing autonomous capabilities across varied terrain environments and operational scenarios. The contract serves as a mechanism to accelerate research collaboration between the prime contractor and the federal government while enabling rapid integration of cutting-edge autonomous technologies into existing and future ground vehicle platforms.
Forterra's role under this IDV leverages the company's established expertise in autonomous vehicle systems, artificial intelligence, and robotic solutions developed through prior federal contract awards and research initiatives. The contract aligns with the Air Force's broader modernization objectives for autonomous ground systems and reflects the agency's commitment to advancing autonomous pathway technologies for military applications. This indefinite delivery vehicle structure provides flexibility in tasking and funding mechanisms, allowing the government to issue task orders as specific operational requirements and development priorities emerge throughout the contract period. The OT IDV designation indicates this procurement operates under the authority of 10 United States Code Section 2371b, providing alternative contracting procedures designed to encourage innovation and accelerate the development cycle for advanced autonomous technologies in the defense sector.
