- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION(RFI) ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUESTFOR PROPOSAL (RFP). This announcement is for a Requestfor Information (RFI). SPAWARSystems Center-Pacific (SSC- Pacific) isseeking small business firms withrelevant knowledge, experience, andcapability to help the Governmentcreate a contract pricing structure forElectronics Packaging used by industryfor a potential firm fixed-priceIndefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity(IDIQ) contract forpackaging/assembly of MEMS devicesincluding a pilot run and a productionrun. The potential effort encompasses allprocesses required to completelyassemble (package) a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) device.The typical assembly will consist of, butis not limited to, a MEMS die with adelicate moveable proof mass, aVertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser(VCSEL), a discrete monitorphotodiode, a resistive heatingelement, and spacer material. Thesecomponents will be mounted in aceramic or plastic package andprecisely aligned to one another. Wirebonding will provide the electricalconnection between the MEMSassembly and the package.Subsequent hermetic sealing invacuum or an inert atmosphere willfollow. Please note that the assemblyprocess is not finalized and thatprocess development will be necessaryto achieve a final product (e.g. choiceof cascading solder alloys needs to beresearched and developed;component handling, alignment andspacing will need to be addressed). Below are the pricing structurequestions that will assist SSC-Pacific increating a pricing structure commonwithin industry. The intent is to createa contract with a firm fixed-price lineitem structure against which orders canthen be placed as the need arises.The contract would have a one-yearbase ordering period and two, one-yearoption periods. Each Pilot Run shallnot exceed quantity 20 assemblies andeach Production Run shall not exceedquantity 100 assemblies. Prices canbe different for each period to addressinflation. Questions: 1. How is Non-recurring Engineering(NRE) best priced?a) As a separate line item?b) Blended in with the price for a PilotRun or Production Run?c) Other method? Please explain. 2. Describe what components make upyour NRE costs. 3. Provide an example of how youwould structure fixed-price line itemsfor: a. Pilot run of 20 units (which canbe ordered in any increment) b. Production run of 100 units Note: Pricing is not requested atthis time. We are merely researchingthe best methodology for establishinga menu of fixed-price contract lineitems against which orders can beplaced over a three-year period. 4. How have you priced an assembly/MEMS packaging in past Governmentcontracts? All written responses and commentsare requested to be received no laterthan 4:00pm on 9 May, 2011. Thank you in advance for your timeand response to this RFI.
