About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to solicitation HR001126QE003, issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on May 5, 2026. The amendment extends the response due date from May 5, 2026 to May 8, 2026 and modifies the pricing structure and technical specifications for compute services.

The solicitation requires Compute Services utilizing NVIDIA H100 processors or equivalent/better alternatives, billed on actual metered consumption. The key modification changes the billing methodology from a per-GPU-hour rate to a per-baseboard-hour rate across Line Items 0001 (base) and 0002 (option). Line Item 0003 is updated to clarify it should be used only if costs cannot be fully included in the per-baseboard-hour rate. The amendment incorporates FAR Clause 52.222-90 (Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, Deviation 2026-O0038) effective April 2026. Updated attachments include revised Technical Specifications (Amendment 2), Section L Instructions and Conditions to Quoters (Amendment 2), Section M Evaluation Factors for Award (Amendment 2), and Questions and Answers (Amendment 1). The contracting officer is Lydia Richards, DARPA Advanced Research Projects Agency, Arlington, Virginia.
