About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an $11.89 million definitive contract to Qorvo Texas, LLC for exceptional thermal resistance engineering of micro-electronic gallium nitride devices under the THREADS program on November 17, 2023, with no set-aside designation.
The effort supports DARPA's Technologies for Heat Removal in Electronics at the Device Scale program, which aims to demonstrate an 8x reduction in transistor thermal resistance and achieve output power density of 81 W/mm. Work is performed in Richardson, TX. The originating solicitation (HR001123S0013) required proposals due February 17, 2023 and specified aggressive 18-month milestones for power, reliability, and thermal resistance metrics across multiple transistor cell and power amplifier deliverables, with evaluation based on technical approach, organization, costs, schedule, and potential deliverables. Multiple awards as procurement contracts or other transactions were anticipated to start in August 2023.
The contract carries cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing and runs through December 18, 2027. Research addresses nanotechnology and electronic and electrical engineering services for industrial and commercial machinery and equipment.
