1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Background

DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) has helped create and prevent strategic surprise through investments in compact microelectronic components such as microprocessors, Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and photonic devices. MTO’s revolutionary work applying advanced capabilities in areas such as wide-band gap materials, phased array radars, high-energy lasers, and infrared imaging have helped the United States establish and maintain technological superiority for more than two decades. MTO is the matchmaker between fundamental research and the technological base that enables new classes of systems. MTO is constantly evolving its thrusts to meet the changing national security landscape. Our major areas of focus and investment are organized in the following fields: Electromagnetic Spectrum, Decentralization, Information Microsystems, and Globalization. MTO will continue to leverage the foundational communities among academia, private industry, and government laboratories to explore solutions to these challenge areas.

1.2 Purpose

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the technical and administrative requirements necessary to provide required support to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) in program planning and technical analysis, program and financial management and analysis, conference and meeting planning, data management and control engineering, and other technical and support services.

1.3 Mission

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) requires Scientific, Engineering, Technical Assistance, and administrative support services to assist the office in its program planning and technical analysis, program and financial management and analysis, conference and meeting planning, and data management and control to support the overall mission and work in the following major areas of focus in the fields of: Electronic Spectrum, Decentralization, Information Microsystems, and Globalization. In addition, support services are required to support the MTO office in the areas of broad agency announcements, internal and external websites, graphics, strategic planning, executive briefings, subject matter experts and/or consultants, and administrative management. All services described in this PWS are non-personal services. The contractor shall not perform any inherently governmental functions or activities.

1.4 Scope

The Contractor shall have experience providing technical, programmatic, financial, and administrative support to DARPA/MTO office for existing, planned, and yet to be defined areas of interest for DARPA/MTO programs. This experience must include Scientific, Engineering and Technical Assistance, and administrative support in the following areas:

- Electromagnetic Spectrum - The electromagnetic spectrum is the heart of current and future warfare, but it remains highly contested and congested. The future of info-centric warfare will require electromagnetic access for collecting and distributing information.

- Decentralization - The ability to update underlying capabilities in large and massively complex systems inexpensively and quickly is crucial to avoid outdated and inferior electronics. The increasing complexity of our major military systems precludes rapid change so it is essential that we move towards a new model that allows for quick adoption of new and modern electronics.

- Information Microsystems - The need to process significantly more and complex data more than ever before continues to increase even as the end of Moore’s Law quickly approaches (or is already here). Our computing systems must have the capabilities to handle this ever increasing demand in new ways, exploring new architectures, algorithms/signal processing, and hardware.

- Globalization - As our world becomes more globalized, fabrication must be on a grounded component basis that we trust and believe will work when we need it. As the manufacturing of components abroad increases, we must embrace the global capabilities that will lead to affordable systems, while maintaining trust.

- Other Technical Areas - MTO may work on other technical areas that are not identified at this time.

DARPA/MTO

1.5 Period and Place of Performance

The Period of Performance shall be for a five year period. There are no options applicable to this five year base contract. If Task Orders require options, they will be addressed in individual task orders. The possible use of the 52.217-8 option will be evaluated with the award using the prorated value of the last anticipated year. The effort will be primarily performed at the DARPA facility located at 675 North Randolph Street, Arlington, VA 22203.
