- Description
- The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) intends to negotiate with TRACE Photonics, a small business, to continue research and development of small form-factor, high power direct charge radioisotopic energy conversion and chemical energy source hybridization. The U.S. Army Joint Munitions and Lethality Life Cycle Management Command (JM & L LCMC) intends to award, on a sole source basis, a follow-on requirement to an existing contract (W15QKN-04- C-1123) with TRACE photonics Corporation, Charleston, IL 61920. This will be performed under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements. The current project extension is designed specifically to 1) test solid-state dielectrics in the cell to miniaturize the prototype, and 2) improve the beta emission efficiency of the promethium-147 source. All responsible sources, however, may submit a proposal via email that shall be considered by the agency. Please submit your email responses no later than 16 October, 2007. Award is anticipated October 2007. See Numbered Note 22.
