About this IDV

This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, awarded October 1, 2025, by the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command, provides a $2.9 million ceiling for the development and integration of the PUMA Long Endurance Unmanned Aircraft System. The prime contractor is T2L, Inc., a non-profit research organization headquartered in Springville, Indiana, with Chesapeake Technology International, Corp. serving as the primary consortia member. The contract represents a non-set-aside, multiple-award vehicle structured to support prototype development, systems integration, testing, and advanced research services for military unmanned aerial platforms. T2L, Inc.'s expertise in rapid innovation and milestone-driven research coordination, combined with CTI's capabilities in software engineering, systems development, and advanced technological solutions, positions this vehicle to deliver cutting-edge unmanned aircraft capabilities aligned with Army modernization priorities.

The PUMA Long Endurance Unmanned Aircraft System development effort leverages flexible task order issuance mechanisms inherent to the Other Transaction authority, enabling iterative prototype development and integration activities without traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation constraints. This approach aligns with the Army's strategy to accelerate technology maturation for autonomous platforms and unmanned systems through non-traditional contracting vehicles. The vehicle complements T2L, Inc.'s existing portfolio of active Other Transaction IDVs, including concurrent efforts on the Hybrid eVTOL for Resilient Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Project and the Advanced Prototyping and Experimentation Consortium. CTI's demonstrated experience in electronic warfare systems, aviation program support, and complex systems engineering, evidenced by its significant IDV holdings including a $35.8 million Naval Air Warfare Center contract and $24.5 million Marine Corps software engineering support vehicle, provides substantial technical depth for executing long-endurance unmanned aircraft development objectives.
