The purpose of AME research and development (R&D) efforts is to develop, validate, qualify and transition the capability to produce microcircuits which are no longer available from industry. This includes reverse-engineering, design, fabrication, manufacture and testing of microcircuits, as well as projects which develop capabilities to produce specific types of microcircuits. The AME program also validates developed AME F3I reverse engineering to a point suitable for transition to the Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program. Once a capability is ready for production, it is transitioned via contract modification to the GEM program for continued DLA L&M management, including library maintenance and limited production. The GEM program, Contract SPE7MX-19-D-0025, physically puts the capabilities developed under AME into limited production status for DoD customers. A five year base contract is contemplated. The solicitation will issue on or about April 16, 2020, and close on/or about June 15, 2020. The solicitation will not be posted on DIBBS, as the Government will procure this requirement in a sole source procurement. The Government will only negotiate with SRI International. The solicitation will be made available upon request until June 30, 2020. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the Agency.
