About this IDV
The U.S. Air Force awarded an Other Transaction IDV to 5N Plus Semiconductors LLC on June 27, 2024, with a ceiling of $3.449994 million for procurement of gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates for solar cells. This OT IDV sits outside the FAR and operates under the Air Force's OTA authority.
5N Plus Semiconductors LLC specializes in refining and producing advanced semiconductor materials and substrates for defense and space applications. The company's focus on GaAs substrate production directly supports the domestic space-qualified solar cell supply chain, particularly for power generation in satellite and space systems where GaAs delivers superior efficiency and radiation tolerance compared to silicon alternatives.
The OT vehicle supports the Air Force's need to secure critical GaAs substrate supply for solar cell manufacturing. This aligns with broader Defense Department efforts to strengthen domestic capacity in specialty semiconductors essential to space and defense platforms. 5N Plus Semiconductors LLC is registered as a foreign-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business.
