Statement of Work

1.0 SCOPE

AIR-4.5.5 Radar and Antenna Systems Engineering Division, Radar and Computational Electromagnetics Modeling (RACEMM) Laboratory possesses a state-of-the-art facility providing detailed Modeling and Simulation (M&S) services for antennas and Radio Frequency (RF) Systems onboard Naval platforms.

2.0 BACKGROUND

RACEMM performs specialized computational electromagnetics (CEM) modeling which require state-of-the-art computational facilities/platforms to accomplish such tasks.

3.0 REQUIREMENTS

The vendor shall provide the following systems and services:

· Rack configuration solution

· Linux Central Processing Unit/Graphical Processing Unit (CPU/GPU) computational Cluster shall consist of one Head Node and multiple Compute Nodes.

· Head Node must possess the following minimum properties:

· Dual Xeon Skylake 6130 processors (or better) with xx-cores (xx ≥ 16)

· ≥ 16 TB HDD space

· Minimum of 128 GB RAM

· Maximum cache on processors

· ≥ 4 GB graphics card compatible with monitor below

· Each Compute Node must possess the following minimum properties:

· Dual Xeon Skylake 6130 processors (or better) with xx-cores (xx ≥ 16)

· Minimum 512 GB RAM

· Minimum 3 NVIDIA Tesla Volta V100 GPU cards, with minimum RAM per GPU card (≥ 16 GB)

· ≥ 6 TB HDD space per node

· One minimum 30-inch HDMI monitor.

· One USB keyboard.

· One USB mouse.

· UPS for system, but at least for the head node

· NOTE: The Navy will purchase red Hat Enterprise Linux OS software separately from approved government vendor. On-site delivery/setup must include Linux install.

· Cluster Management Utility (CMU) software.

· Message Passing Interface (MPI) enabling software.

· Five-year service onsite maintenance agreement.

· Delivery and set-up of Cluster onsite.

NOTE: It is required that the number of compute nodes be maximized to fill the entire budget of this contract. Nominal number of compute nodes is expected to be between 6 and 10.

4.0 DELIVERABLES

Contractor shall deliver a Linux Cluster System (specified in the Requirements Section above) to: NAVAIR, Bldg 2187 Rm 3121, 48110 Shaw Rd, Patuxent River, MD 20670-1906. Delivery date is based on days after award of contract (DAC). All products delivered as a result of the service actions shall be licensed for the contract period and allows the ability to receive technical support and any hardware repairs and software upgrades within the contract period.

5.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Period of performance for this SOW is five years from contract award.
