B2: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2021, Section 9902, directed the Secretary of the Department of Commerce to establish a program to provide federal financial assistance to incentivize investment in facilities and equipment in the United States for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, or research and development (CHIPS Act). Under the CHIPS Act, the Department is responsible for designing, implementing, and overseeing a loan and loan guarantee program targeted at expanding U.S. domestic semiconductor production. Standing up this program is a key Administration priority, however Commerce is challenged by internal procurement lead times to roll out the program quickly. DFC has a contract vehicle (BPA) already in place that will allow for Commerce to significantly shorten the time to award of a contract to assist in standing up this program. Commerce has requested DFC to conduct an assisted procurement using this contract vehicle in which DFC will award the contract and will be reimbursed by Commerce for any contract payments made.
