About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a firm-fixed-price definitive contract to Psiquantum, Corp. on March 13, 2025, with a ceiling value of $10.8 million, for integrating a state-of-the-art optical phase shifter in a photonics platform for quantum computing. The scope includes validating quantum circuit capabilities and exploring their applications to other Air Force use cases beyond quantum computing. No set-aside was used.
Place of performance is Palo Alto, California, and the ultimate completion date is May 13, 2027.
The award traces to a pre-solicitation notice posted April 25, 2023, for Broad Agency Announcement FA8750-23-S-7001, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate at Rome Research Site. The BAA covers five technical focus areas: Quantum Algorithms and Computation; Quantum Information Processing; Memory-Node-Based Quantum Networking; Heterogeneous Quantum Platforms; and other Quantum Information Sciences topics. Research supports Air Force C4I mission objectives. Awards may take the form of FAR-based contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or Other Transactions under 10 USC 4021, 4022, and 4023. Individual awards typically range from $0.5 million to $27 million and may reach up to $99.9 million. The BAA is open through September 30, 2027. Foreign participation is limited to fundamental research and companies with approved Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) mitigation documentation, and offerors must obtain facility security clearances.
