ANNOUNCEMENT #: N61331-25-SN-Q07

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Posting Date: 31 October 2024

Closing Date: 15 November 2024

Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has a requirement for the development of large-scale circuit designs for various image-sensor, memory, and computation-logic components that will be used as part of a high-throughput, low- power, low-bandwidth vision sensor with reconfigurable analog processing logic.

The purpose of this Sources Sought announcement, a market survey for written information only, is to identify sources capable of providing support and expertise for this effort. The following items are expected requirements for this effort:

Task Area # 1 – Image Sensor Component Analysis The Contractor shall refine various image-sensor components, which includes, but is not limited to, custom photodiodes, custom pixel cell circuits, and custom image-processing circuits.

Task Area # 2 Analog and Mixed-Signal Memory Component Development Develop custom analog and mixed-signal memory components along with high-speed, analog and mixed-signal memory architectures for storing the sensed photodiode currents from the pixel-cell array, utilizing memory components and memory architectures for storing intermediate transformations of the sensed photodiode currents.

Task Area # 3 High-Throughput, Low-Power Analog Compute Circuitry Development Design and deliver a high-throughput, low-power analog compute circuitry, minimum being 250 trillion operations per second per watt (250 TOPS/W). Design and fabricate reprogrammable circuitry for accelerating reduced-precision convolutions.

NAICS Code 541330 – Engineering Services applies. SBA Size Standard is $25.5M annually.

PSC R425.
