JA SPE7MX25R0011_SAM Posting.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for the Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) program, solicitation SPE7MX-25-R-0011. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking to award a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Requirements Type Contract to SRI International for a five-year base period and a four-month option period from February 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The contract aims to continue research and development of specialized microcircuit emulation technologies that are no longer available from industry, focusing on reverse engineering, design, fabrication, manufacture, and testing of microcircuits for military weapon systems.

SRI International is the sole source for this contract, having been the primary contractor for the AME program since 1987. The document justifies the sole-source award based on SRI's unique capabilities in developing microcircuit technologies for Department of Defense applications, including work on systems like the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, JointSTARS, and AV-8 Harrier. The contract will support the transition of developed microcircuit technologies to the Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program, with an estimated total contract value that includes various pricing components for core efforts, government-furnished equipment, and engineering efforts.
