The Defense Microelectronics Activity looks to award a potential $576 million contract to IBM (NYSE: IBM) to secure the production of semiconductor products for military applications.
A notice posted Thursday on SAM.gov states that the sole-source contract covers the microelectronics manufacturing security component of the Trusted Foundry Access III program to help the U.S. government establish a secure supply chain for trusted application-specific integrated circuits through fiscal year 2033.
The TFA III component focuses on delivering classified and unclassified security surveillance protection, control of secure infrastructure maintenance, security, program management, engineering services and IT license.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has an ordering period of 10 years.
In 2019, IBM secured a potential $275 million contract from the Defense Microelectronics Activity to establish trusted manufacturing flows at contractor fabrication facilities.
