The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) in McClellan, California, is soliciting sources for the firm-fixed-price manufacturing of VME TC CPU hardware, specifically various aluminum and stainless steel plates and brackets used in the Link 16 VME TC CPU system, which supports an operating system upgrade to Windows 11. The solicitation, identified as HQ072725QSW01, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 332510 and invites vendors to submit quotes by April 30, 2025. The contract calls for production of specified quantities of Link 16 face plates, optical drive support plates, PCB mount brackets, Link 16 brackets, and disk drive brackets, with an option to supply additional units. The contractor must rigorously review DMEA design and manufacturing files prior to production, deliver a prototype for validation, and provide ongoing technical progress updates. Manufacturing is to follow DMEA specifications and design documents, with compliance required under applicable federal regulations and quality standards. The solicitation incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses addressing ethics, labor standards, trade restrictions, security, and privacy, including flow-down requirements to subcontractors. Notably, clauses cover small business subcontractor payment acceleration, restrictions on certain foreign hardware and telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, and combating trafficking in persons. The evaluation of offers emphasizes product quality first and price second, under a best-value trade-off approach. Submission of proposals is via email to the designated point of contact at DMEA. Packaging and marking requirements are minimal but require item unique identification for traceability. The contract mandates the use of Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoicing and payment processing. While specific delivery timelines, pricing details, and inspection locations are not explicitly defined, the contract contemplates production, prototype delivery, and optional quantity adjustments consistent with the Government’s operational needs.

Altium Server and Licenses
Solicitation # HQ072727QMH03
The Defense Microelectronics Activity is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract under solicitation HQ072727QMH03 to upgrade its existing Altium license suite to Altium Enterprise and install an on-premises Enterprise server. This initiative aims to provide critical military design capabilities, including version control, configuration management, and component life-cycle management. The scope of work requires the installation and functional validation of the server by March 31, 2027, ensuring successful connection to a high availability SQL database cluster endpoint and a designated HA file share network path. Additionally, the contractor must demonstrate software interoperability, specifically with Solidworks Professional, and potentially with Keysight ADS, CST Antenna Magus, and PCB Doctor. The contract structure consists of a base period for the server installation and an initial four-month upgrade of 16 licenses, followed by three optional one-year renewal periods for 20 Altium Enterprise licenses extending through April 12, 2030. Award will be based on the best value, with price as the sole evaluation factor. Quotes are due by November 4, 2026, to Contracting Officer Mike Hallock. The procurement is justified as a sole source due to the proprietary nature of the software and the need to avoid incompatibility risks with existing PCB design tools.
