Rapid Assured Access (R2A)

The Rapid Assured Access (R2A) program aims to provide rapid, long-term assured semiconductor foundry access to the Department of War (DoW) and other federal agencies. The program will establish multiple single-award IDIQ contracts to meet the government's technology needs. The contracts will have a five-year ordering period, and task orders will be issued to meet specific requirements. The program will focus on custom-designed microelectronics, and the contractors will be responsible for manufacturing and delivering the products. The government will evaluate contractor performance based on metrics such as value, quotes, contract execution, flexibility, on-time delivery, and quality. • The program will have an ordering ceiling of $500 million, shared among all R2A awardees. • The contracts will be firm-fixed-priced, and task orders will be issued based on the contractor's pricing arrangements. • The government may exercise on-ramp and off-ramp provisions to maintain a pool of qualified contractors. • The program will require contractors to comply with export control regulations and obtain necessary licenses. • The government will evaluate contractor performance and may remove contractors from the program if they fail to meet performance standards.
