Response to questions recevied. In 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which provides the Department of Commerce (DOC) with $50 billion for programs to support semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing—while also investing in American workers. These programs seek to restore U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing by providing incentives and encouraging investment to expand the domestic manufacturing capacity necessary to produce the most advanced semiconductors needed for applications in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, as well as less advanced semiconductors that remain critical components of everything from automobiles to microwave ovens. In addition to major manufacturing investments, these programs will also create a dynamic new center for innovation and research, laying the groundwork for the creation of the next generation industries. CHIPS Program Office (CPO) requires detailed industry information and analysis on semiconductor companies, industry investors, supply chains, and associated trends across the industry as a whole. CPO requires five (5) licenses to access a web portal that shall provide industry data, expertise, and analysis on a range of semiconductor companies that illuminate areas of risk. The service shall include information on the industry's market participants, key management and personnel, investors, supply chains, business partnerships, and US government contracts. The web portal shall allow data searches. CPO should be able to independently conduct all searches and, the data results should be immediately accessible, and all data searches conducted are considered confidential and should be treated as such. All interested offerors shall provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for web portal subscription to semiconductor industry supply chain as defined in the statement of work attached.
