About this opportunity
The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on January 12, 2026, to increase the ceiling of an existing Manufacturing Sustainment & Engineering Support (MSES) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded to Blackwatch International Corporation (BWI). The contract ceiling will increase from $96.9 million to $214.2 million, representing an additional $117.3 million in funding. The MSES contract provides engineering support services for wafer processing and microelectronics manufacturing activities in support of DMEA's Advanced Reconfigurable Manufacturing for Semiconductors (ARMS) Foundry and Integrated Circuits Manufacturing Support Labs (ICM-SL), with the contract running through August 22, 2028. The justification for sole source competition rests on market research findings that manufacturing sustainment is not available as a commercial service and that BWI is the incumbent and only contractor capable of meeting DMEA's unique microelectronics manufacturing needs, particularly for lagging edge technology no longer supported by the private sector. The ceiling increase will fund three reconciliation initiatives—Project SHIELD, Nucleus, and Pathfinder—as well as Building 2 Quality and Reliability Engineering (QRE) and Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) tooling and installation activities.
