About this file
This is a NIST Requirements Document for Solicitation Amendment 01 specifying procurement of a Brand Name or Equal Data Processing Server for the Communications Technology Laboratory's Wireless Networks Division.
NIST seeks an Exxact Corporation VWS-135223847 Full-Tower Workstation or equivalent product to support research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins, wireless channel modeling, and multimodal data processing for the 2026 NIST Emerging Technologies Standards Engagement Program. The workstation must meet minimum technical specifications including: AMD Threadripper PRO 9975WX processor (32 cores minimum) with ECC DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 support; 512 GB ECC DDR5 memory; four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs (96 GB GPU memory minimum per GPU); 2 TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD for operating system storage; two 15.36 TB enterprise NVMe SSDs configured for RAID 0 capability; dual 100GbE networking with dedicated out-of-band/IPMI-equivalent management; and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Desktop compatibility. The contractor must provide a compatible power cable with NEMA 6-20 receptacle type for the 208V power service available at the receiving location. All products must be new and unused. Delivery must occur FOB Destination within 30 days after contractor receipt of order to NIST Shipping and Receiving, 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, with packing slips clearly indicating the NIST award number and Technical Point of Contact. The Government will conduct visual inspection within seven business days of receipt to verify products are new, undamaged, and operate as commercially marketed, with sole discretion to require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government. The contractor shall provide a three-year commercial warranty and will be paid NET30 terms following Government acceptance and receipt of a proper invoice.

NIST Requirements Document – Solicitation Amendment 01 Brand Name or Equal Data Processing Server
I. Background
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) Wireless Networks Division (WND) performs research on artificial intelligence/machine learning, digital twins, wireless channel modeling, and multimodal data processing. In support of this work and the 2026 NIST Emerging Technologies Standards Engagement (NETSE) Program, the WND requires computational resources to process large radiofrequency, LiDAR, and vision datasets, accelerate GPU-intensive machine learning workloads, and support the development and validation of next-generation wireless technologies, including Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and 6G systems. NIST currently owns and operates Exxact Corporation GPU Workstations. This requirement is for Exxact Corporation brand name or equivalent products.
II. Requirements
The Contractor shall provide an Exxact Corporation VWS-135223847 Full-Tower Workstation, or equivalent products, that meet or exceed the minimum technical specifications listed below. All products shall be new and unused.
CPU: AMD Threadripper PRO 9975WX (32 cores) or equal; minimum 32 cores, ECC DDR5, and PCIe Gen 5 support
Memory: Minimum 512 GB ECC DDR5 GPU: 4 × NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q or equal; minimum 96 GB
GPU memory per GPU and equivalent AI/compute capability OS Storage: Minimum 2 TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD Data Storage: 2 × 15.36 TB enterprise NVMe SSD; RAID 0 capable Networking: Dual 100GbE with dedicated out-of-band/IPMI-equivalent management Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Desktop compatible
The receiving location has 208V power service available. The Contractor shall provide a compatible power cable with receptacle type NEMA 6-20 with the system.
III. Delivery
Delivery shall be FOB Destination (or equivalent terms, such as INCOTERMS Delivered Duties Paid) and shall occur not later than (NLT) 30 days after contractor receipt of order (ARO). The packing slip shall clearly indicate the NIST award number and the NIST Technical Point of Contact associated with the order.
FOB Destination means: The contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.
The contractor shall deliver all Line Items to:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Shipping and Receiving 100 Bureau Drive, Building 301 Gaithersburg, MD 20899
IV. Inspection and Acceptance
The Government will inspect the products within seven business days of receipt. The Contractor has the right to be present during the inspection at the Contractor’s expense.
Inspection will include:
Visual inspection of the products to ensure that they are new, undamaged, and operate as commercially marketed.
The Government shall have sole discretion to require repair or replacement of damaged and/or nonconforming supplies at no cost to the Government.
V. Installation Installation is not required.
VI. Warranty The contractor shall provide a three-year commercial warranty for all products.
VII. Payment Schedule
The Contractor will be paid per NET30 terms following: 1) Government acceptance of the products and 2) upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice.
