GDSFactory+ Software and Maintenance Support – Combined Sources Sought/Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing GDSFactory+ Software and maintenance support. The software is a Python library for designing and automating integrated circuits, particularly for photonics, quantum, analog, and MEMS devices. NIST operates clean room facilities in both Gaithersburg and Boulder, and the software is essential to NIST researchers in both campuses. The acquisition includes a 2-year license for 10 users, dedicated customer support, and LVS and DRC capabilities. • The software is used for designing and automating integrated circuits • The acquisition includes a 2-year license for 10 users • Dedicated customer support is included • LVS and DRC capabilities are included • The software is essential to NIST researchers in both Gaithersburg and Boulder campuses
