Amendment 0003 15F06726R0000307.zip

Amendment 0003 is a clarification document issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for RFP No. 15F06726R0000307, an enterprise artificial intelligence hardware infrastructure acquisition. The amendment resolves ambiguity regarding the relationship between Category III Pod Scale Server requirements (CLIN 0003) and the optional Gemini on-premises capability (CLIN 0009 and subCLINs 0009AA and 0009AB). The Government clarifies that Category III IDIQ contract eligibility requires only compliance with applicable Category III requirements and the required control-plane capability under CLIN 0010—not mandatory Gemini capability. Offerors may optionally propose the Gemini capability and will be separately evaluated for it. Individual Delivery Orders may establish Gemini as a mandatory requirement, and proposals unable to provide required Gemini capability may be deemed technically unacceptable for that specific order.

This amendment reflects the Government's acquisition strategy to provide flexible vehicles for commercially available pod-scale AI infrastructure while permitting specialized Gemini on-premises solutions when customer Delivery Orders require them. The underlying solicitation seeks two to four multiple-award, firm-fixed-price IDIQ contracts with a maximum aggregate value of $88,000,000 and minimum guarantee of $2,000 per contract. Required products include enterprise AI compute servers, rack-scale and pod-scale AI systems, AI inference servers and expansion hardware, high-speed network interface cards, data processing units, networking components, OEM software and licenses, and associated warranty and technical support. The original proposal deadline was August 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with submission via email to Melissa Golicz (mgolicz@fbi.gov). This is an unrestricted acquisition under NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with PSC 7B20 (High Performance Compute).
