The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMA), a defense agency, has awarded a 10-year, $3.127 billion single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for the Trusted Foundry Access (TFA) program to Globalfoundries U.S. 2 LLC. This contract enables DMA to acquire application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and associated manufacturing services from Globalfoundries to support national security systems.
Under the TFA IDIQ, DMA has issued two firm-fixed price delivery orders totaling over $72 million for ASIC supplies and fabrication services from Globalfoundries' facility in Essex Junction, Vermont. The contract does not have any set-aside designations. The original TFA III Manufacturing solicitation sought proposals for state-of-the-art semiconductor foundry and manufacturing capabilities, including access to 45nm silicon-on-insulator, 22nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator, silicon-germanium, FinFET, and silicon photonics technologies. This contract represents a critical long-term source of specialized microelectronics components for the Department of Defense.
