Highly Efficient Algorithms for Vacuum Electronic Device Modeling

This solicitation from the Naval Research Laboratory seeks proposals for theoretical and experimental research support involving the development of highly efficient algorithms for vacuum electronic device modeling. Proposals are due by March 18, 2024 for the cost-plus-fixed-fee term contract, which has a one year base period and four one-year option periods not exceeding five years total. Evaluation criteria include technical approach, past performance, and proposed costs. An amendment to the solicitation extended the submission deadline and provided clarification on contract data requirements and acceptable key personnel documentation.

There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. The primary NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. Work is to be performed within the United States at Naval Research Laboratory facilities, with contractors requiring necessary security clearances. The solicitation seeks to advance vacuum electronic device modeling capabilities through research tasks including theoretical analysis, algorithm development, code implementation and validation, application of models to novel device design and analysis, experimental data collection, and code support.
