A -- MEMS ALT Study and METRIC 2004

Fifteen days after publication of this notice, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) intends to issue a purchase order to support the MEMS Technology Roadmap and Industry Congress 2004 (METRIC 2004). METRIC 2004 will focus on Accelerated Lifetime Test (ALT), as MEMS devices have struggled to demonstrate lifetime performance. As a result of METRIC 2004, the MEMS Industry Group (MIG) will provide to DARPA two hundred copies of the MEMS Industry Group Industry Report – Focus on Accelerated Lifetime Test. This order shall be for an amount less than $100,000 and the purchase shall take place by December 31, 2004. MEMS Industry Group is uniquely qualified to provide the required services due to its extensive past experience conducting research efforts in this specific field. This notice is not a solicitation of any kind, nor is it a request for proposal.
