Semiconductor Fabrication Government Bids & RFPs

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) anticipates awarding a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) term contract for R&D in optoelectronics, power electronics, and radiation effects. The period of performance is one base year plus four 12-month option periods (total 5 years), with a possible 6-month extension. Work involves modeling, simulation, device fabrication (including MBE, MOCVD, ALD), characterization (structural, electrical, optoelectronic), and reliability/environmental testing in simulated space environments. Work is performed onsite at NRL. Key personnel are essential and cannot be replaced without prior government approval.

Los Alamos National Laboratory offers licensing for its SonicCoat technology, which uses acoustic resonance spectroscopy (ARS) for non-invasive, real-time quality control of catalyst coatings on fuel cells and electrolyzers. The technology allows monitoring of catalyst deposition layer by layer without stopping production or damaging parts. Licensing agreements are available for existing and start-up companies.

The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Auer Precision Co. , Inc. for custom sheetmetal magazines and boats used in wafer production operations. The estimated total value is $25,000. This is a single-source acquisition pursuant to FAR ****(b)(1). The required items must be compatible with the government's existing KS Rapid Pro Ball Bonder.

Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific (NIWC Pacific) intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis to Microchip Technology Inc. The requirement is for the purchase of **** microcircuits and related items. Vendors must be registered to the SAM website. The point of contact is Sarah Coe.

This is a sources sought announcement for market research to determine potential sources for a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Prototyping System. The system must support in-house rapid prototyping, milling, drilling, and routing of PCBs. Key requirements include a spindle speed of at least 60,000 rpm, mechanical resolution of 0. 47 µm (XY) and 0. 2 µm (Z), repeatability of ±5 µm, an automatic tool changing system for at least 15 tools, sensor-controlled milling depth/width adjustment, and an integrated camera for fiducial recognition. The maximum working area should be 305 mm x 229 mm x 8 mm, and it must accommodate materials up to 330 mm x 250 mm x 26 mm. The machine should have a heavy granite base, an integrated vacuum table, and be capable of accepting a solder paste dispensing unit. Integrated CAM software equivalent to LPKF CircuitPro Basic is required. Responses are due by 10:00 am CST on Friday, August 7, 2026, and should be emailed to ***@***. *. * and ***@***. *. * parties should include company details and confirm their ability to meet the specified salient characteristics. This notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or a promise to issue one.
