The contract seeks a subcontractor to manufacture photonic integrated circuits using high-volume semiconductor fabrication processes that ensure tight process control and wide-area uniformity, specifically to enable scalable optical phased arrays. The work requires advanced capabilities in integrated photonics, with an emphasis on scalability, repeatability, and performance consistency across large wafer areas, aligning with defense-grade standards for optical systems. The manufacturing must support the production of complex photonic components that can be integrated into next-generation sensing, communication, or beam-forming technologies critical to national defense applications. The solicitation was issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the Department of Defense, classified under NAICS code 334413 for semiconductor and related device manufacturing. It is structured as a subcontract opportunity with a response deadline of July 14, 2020, reflecting a time-sensitive effort to advance photonic technology readiness for military use. The requirement is technology-driven and hinges on the vendor’s demonstrated ability to execute high-yield, high-precision fabrication under stringent uniformity and control parameters, without reliance on low-volume or experimental methods. Successful proposers must possess proven infrastructure and expertise in commercial-grade semiconductor fabrication adapted for photonic applications.
