See the following for detailed information;Subparagraph 3 of Topic 2, Advanced Electronics Materials, Devices and Circuits for Space Electronics. AFRL is soliciting proposals in Advanced Electronics Material, Devices and Circuits for Space Electronics, subparagraph (3), specifically for space qualified reprogrammable Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) component developments:Proposals should outline plans for state-of-the-art FPGA products, with commercial-level marketing and engineering support infrastructure. Desired products will incorporate flexible logic blocks for general-purpose logic and for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) functionality, as well as flexible high speed I/O within a reprogrammable, multi-million gate, 300-500 MHz platform. Fully capable design, synthesis, and verification tools must be available. Modification of a successful commercial design for the space environment would be the preferred approach, giving the opportunity for prototyping with less expensive commercial parts.ANTICIPATED FUNDING (Topic 2, Subparagraph 3: Anticipated funding for this CALL (not per contract or award) is: FY 07: $8 million dollars; FY 08: $8 million dollars; FY 09: $4 million dollars. This funding profile is an estimate only and will not be a contractual obligation for funding. All funding is subject to change due to government discretion and availability. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE (Topic 2, Subparagraph 3): The anticipated period of performance for individual awards resulting from this CALL is between 36-39 months in duration. The period of performance is to be proposed in the format "includes 36 months for the technical effort and 3 months for Final Report preparation."PROPOSAL DUE DATE AND TIME: The due date for proposals submitted in response to this CALL is no later than 4:30 p.m. MDT on 15 December 2006. Proposals for any other technology area identified in the baseline BAA will not be accepted at this time unless a CALL for proposals in that specific area is open. Proposals received after the due date and time shall be governed by the provisions of FAR 52.215-1(c)(3). CALL AMENDMENTS: Offerors should monitor FedBizOps/EPS http://www.fbo.gov and/or Grants.gov/FIND http://www.grants.gov for any additional notices to this CALL that may permit extensions to the proposal submission date or otherwise modify this announcement.
