Next Generation Microelectronics Design and Enhanced Security Service

The United States government authority located in Washington, DC is seeking next-generation microelectronics design and enhanced security services. The agency requires these advanced design and integration approaches to simultaneously provide resilience to ionizing radiation and enhanced security, which are critical for many national security systems. The project aims to solve the vulnerability of national security systems by developing technologies that obfuscate both the function and the radiation resilience of microelectronics. The scope of work covers the development of these microelectronics technologies, including proposals for embedded sensors that monitor the environment, state of health, and tampering. Bidders must perform an assessment of the technical readiness of the technology and analyze its potential applicability to defense, critical infrastructure, and commercial markets. The agency also requires a quantitative analysis of the proposed approach that highlights exactly how progress will be measured. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency expects the selected contractor to perform all work offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and bidders must submit their proposals to be considered for the award.
