Optoelectronics, Power Electronics and Radiation Effects

The Naval Research Laboratory is soliciting proposals for a Cost Plus Fixed Fee term contract to provide scientific and engineering support for Optoelectronics, Power Electronics, and Radiation Effects Research. This follow-on effort supports the Electronic Sciences and Technology Division in developing advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and circuits for ground and space-based military missions, with a specific focus on photovoltaics and infrared imaging. The scope of work encompasses modeling, simulation, semiconductor growth, fabrication, and extensive reliability and space environmental testing. The contract consists of a twelve-month base period followed by four twelve-month option periods, totaling five years, with an additional government option to extend support by six months. The project requires highly qualified personnel, including research scientists and engineers with security clearances ranging from Secret to TS/SCI, as certain results will be classified at the TS/SCI level. Performance will primarily take place on-site at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. Award decisions will be based on a best-value price/technical tradeoff analysis, where the technical factor is weighted as significantly more important than past performance, cost, and small business participation. Deliverables include specific data items outlined in the Contract Data Requirements List, and invoicing will be processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system.
