Strategic Transition of Microelectronics to Accelerate Modernization by Prototyping and Innovating in the Packaging Ecosystem (STEAM-PIPE) Project

Special Notice N0016423SNB24 Agency: Department of the Navy Office: Naval Sea Systems Command Location: NSWC Crane Division Classification Code: 5962, Microcircuits, Electronic NAICS Code: 33441 Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing Response Due Date: 13 Feb 2023 Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Request for Solutions (RFS) in support of Strategic Transition of Microelectronics to Accelerate Modernization by Prototyping and Innovating in the Packaging Ecosystem (STEAM-PIPE) Project PURPOSE This Request for Solutions (RFS) is issued to locate vendors with the ability to yield new heterogeneously integrated packaged prototypes that achieve less power consumption and latency, reduced physical size, and improved system performance and reliability than current packaging methods. The STEAM PIPE project will result in new chiplets and devices using advanced packaging designed, developed, prototyped, productized, and transitioned to military systems. Technical Objectives include: - Reduce size, weight, power, and cost over current methods. - Increase performance and capability over current methods. - Reuse IP to the maximum extent. - Prototypes must close technical and performance gaps at the military system level. The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent of awarding an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in accordance with 10 U.S. Code - 4022. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022(f), and upon a determination that the prototype project (or any subsequent iterative prototyping efforts) was successfully completed under the competitively awarded OTA(s), a follow-on production contract(s) or OTA(s) may be awarded without the use of competitive procedures. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY S2MARTS Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) consortium. Interested parties may visit S2MARTS.org for membership information. This project will be managed by a Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division Project Manager. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Navy's goal for the MACH-TB Project is a proof of concept and prototype demonstration of modular Experimental Glide Body (EGB) testing hypersonic technologies/experimental payloads in operational trajectories using already available boosters.
