MIL-PRF-19500 Semiconductor Manufacturing & Process Transfer

The contract requires full lifecycle domestic manufacturing of microelectronic components qualified to MIL-PRF-19500 standards, encompassing process transfer from existing sources, facility upgrades to meet defense-grade production requirements, and second-source qualification to ensure supply chain resilience. All work must be performed within the United States, with the primary place of performance located in Linda, California, 95652, and must adhere to stringent defense specifications for reliability, performance, and traceability. This subcontract is focused on establishing or expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities for critical semiconductor components used in defense systems, with a strong emphasis on technology transition, compliance with military reliability standards, and the ability to sustain volume production under controlled conditions. The solicitation, issued by the Defense Microelectronics Activity under the Department of Defense, is targeted at contractors with demonstrated expertise in microelectronics fabrication and process development. The NAICS code 334413 indicates this is a semiconductor and related device manufacturing opportunity, and the response deadline is May 14, 2026, with proposals due by 9:00 PM local time. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning all qualified entities may compete, and the effort is not restricted by small business or other socioeconomic preferences. Successful performers must not only meet technical requirements but also demonstrate capacity for long-term domestic production, documentation compliance, and the ability to support military readiness through secure and assured manufacturing methods.
