Prometheus Atomic Layer Deposition System
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract to Forge Nano Inc. in Thornton, Colorado, as the only manufacturer of fluidization ALD systems that rely on its exclusive proprietary software. No RFQ will be issued and quotes will not be requested because the technology and software licenses are strictly proprietary, so no other vendor can provide or support the equipment. Interested parties may submit a written capability statement to Amy Lamberth demonstrating the ability to perform the required work without compromising quality, accuracy, reliability, or schedule. Vendors must maintain active SAM registration, noting additional processing may take at least 10–15 days, and must be DLIS-certified for CUI or export-controlled information with an approved DD 2345 and a single Data Custodian POC per CAGE code.
