- Description
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Contracts Management Office (CMO), on behalf of the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO), intends to award a Sole Source contract to Dr. Robert P. Colwell, Sole Proprietor, for a period of one (1) twelve-month base period, potentially followed by two (2) twelve-month option periods. The dollar value for this contract action is estimated at $229,500 including options. This will be a Firm-Fixed Price Level-of-Effort (FFP-LOE) contract to provide technical consulting support services required by DARPA's MTO. Travel will be accounted for with a time and materials (T&M) type contract line item (CLIN). DARPA will leverage Dr. Colwell's expertise in microsystems technologies. Dr. Colwell is uniquely qualified to provide consulting services to DARPA's MTO, bringing decades of experience in the semiconductor and microelectronics fields. Specifically, Dr. Colwell will consult on strategic and technical issues and provide advice to technology developers and Program Managers to assist in development of programs, and initiation and management of technology development initiatives. DARPA intends to leverage the expertise of Dr. Colwell to assist the Program Manager in evaluation of results of the various STARnet centers to include assisting with the review of technical papers and research results and providing feedback that will be used to develop research plans, direct research, and define quantitative research goals. Dr. Colwell will also consistently scan the microelectronics technology environment to help identify gaps in current research areas, make recommendations on how to best apply research findings to address the needs of the Department of Defense, and assist in the transfer of technologies to the user community. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." As the Chief Architect of numerous Intel IA-32 microprocessors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4), Dr. Colwell possesses unique knowledge, capabilities, and proprietary intellectual property/data required to assist in developing next-generation high performance computation systems for DARPA MTO. This notice constitutes the only synopsis for this requirement and is issued for notification purposes only. It is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation for this specific requirement is currently available. In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), responsible sources may identify their interest by submitting a capability statement, which shall be considered by DARPA. Capability statements may be submitted to Contracting Officer, Jimmy Hupalar, at jimmy.hupalar@darpa.mil, no later than November 6, 2014 3:00 P.M. EST. A determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government. Questions related to this proposed contract action should also be directed to jimmy.hupalar@darpa.mil.
