About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document supporting a pre-solicitation RFI for Specialized Computer Hardware (SCH) issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal under solicitation number SCH-26-01. The Q&A addresses clarifications on hardware specifications for the Portfolio Capability Executive (PAE) Fires program and was posted as Amendment 01 with a response deadline of 30 June 2026, 1500 Central Standard Time. The document contains two industry questions with government responses regarding required hardware components.
The Q&A clarifies two key specifications for respondents: (1) the government does not provide a reference graphics card for the required PCIe 3.0x16 or better interface slot and intends flexibility in whether vendors include a graphics card, and (2) the total storage capacity requirement for removable Gen3 SATA or faster SSD/NVMe SSD is 4 TB. This RFI is for market research purposes only to assess industry capability and interest in providing COTS hardware solutions that meet minimum performance requirements for a 1U form factor 19-inch rack system with enterprise-class x86 processors and removable/replaceable power supplies. No contract award or reimbursement of submission costs is guaranteed, and submitted documentation becomes government property. The government point of contact is Leigh Kellstrom at US Army Contracting Command-Redstone.
