BACKGROUND In 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which provides the Department of Commerce (DOC) with $50 billion for programs to support semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing�while also investing in American workers.� These programs seek to restore U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing by providing incentives and encouraging investment to expand the domestic manufacturing capacity necessary to produce the most advanced semiconductors needed for applications in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, as well as less advanced semiconductors that remain critical components of everything from automobiles to microwave ovens. On February 28, 2023, the DOC CHIPS Program Office (CPO) issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeking applicants for the CHIPS Incentives Program. The CHIPS incentives program can provide direct funding (via grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions), loans and loan guarantees (collectively, CHIPS Incentives) for eligible projects. The HOFO seeks applications for CHIPS Incentives that will support investments in the construction, expansion, and modernization commercial facilities in the United States for the front- and back-end fabrication of leading-edge, current-generation, and mature-node semiconductors.� As part of the application package, CHIPS Incentives applicants must submit a workforce development plan. A highly skilled, diverse workforce is critical to meeting the goals of the CHIPS Incentives Program. This includes both the construction workforce who construct or expand facilities, and the semiconductor workforce who operate them.� Applicant will need a strategy for both workforce components. To help CPO staff with the assessment of CHIPS Incentives applicants� workforce development plans, CPO staff needs labor market data on the semiconductor industry for detailed geographic areas. All interested vendors shall provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for services as defined in the statement of work attached. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1. Statement of Work 2.
