📋 Tender Overview
Last week, the U.S. Department of Commerce CHIPS for America Office began implementing the second stage of a key component of Senator Kelly’s CHIPS and Science Act to provide funding for the construction, expansion, and modernization of semiconductor manufacturing suppliers with capital investments below $300 million. In June, the CHIPS office issued a notice of funding for facilities with capital investments exceeding $300 million.
Together, Kelly’s supplier provisions will expand the impact of the CHIPS Act: accelerating microchip manufacturing investments in Arizona, creating tens of thousands high-paying jobs, lowering costs, and strengthening our national security.
“Arizona is becoming a global hub for microchip manufacturing because we are attracting investments at every level of the supply chain. By expanding opportunities to all suppliers — no matter their size — Arizona’s microchip manufacturing industry will continue to grow and create more good-paying jobs,” said Sen. Kelly, a chief negotiator of the CHIPS and Science Act.
