Schick, Contracting Officer, (205)955-1187. The U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command (USASSDC), Optics/Microelectronics Division, Huntsville, Alabama is seeking industry capabilities for Radiation Hardened High Density Magnetoresistive Nonvolatile Semiconductor Memory. The objective of this effort is to provide additional development of the magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) technology which was developed by Honeywell Corporation under contract DASG60-89-C-0153. This acquisition is directed to Honeywell Corporation to ensure a continuity of effort is maintained through the completion of existing and ongoing non-severable programs. See Note 22. The primary effort in the basic contract is to design, fabricate, and test 32K x 8 MRAM devices using the technology developed on the contract which has produced 16K x 1 and 64K x 1 devices. The device read and write speeds and other performance parameters will be similar to the present 64K x 1 specification but for a byte wide configuration. An additional effort in the basic phase is to increase the change in the resistance ratio to 10% or more which will allow the density to more easily be increased beyond 256K. The Option I effort, if exercised, will be to design 128K x 8 MRAM devices using the technology developed in the basic effort. An additional effort for Option I is to develop a multichip module for the MRAM devices. The Option 2 effort, if exercised, will be to fabricate and test the 128K x 8 MRAM devices using the design developed in Option I. The testing effort in both the Basic and Option 2 shall include both electrical and radiation characterization. It is anticipated that a SECRET facility clearance will be required for this effort. There is no foreign participation expected on this acquisition. Firms that recognize and can perform the effort described above are encouraged to identify themselves to the contracting officer and provide capability statements as to their qualifications. This notice is not a request for proposal. All responses to this notice shall be submitted in writing to CSSD-CM-CT, Shirley Wilkes (original and one copy). Firms responding should indicate whether they are a small or small disadvantaged business, the size standard for which is 1,000 employees (SIC Code 8731). No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Response must be received with fifteen (15) days of the publication date of this notice. (0223) U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, ATTN: CSSD-CM-CT, P.O.
