About this opportunity
Army Contracting Command - Redstone Arsenal awarded a task order valued at $88,240 to Better Direct, LLC on September 1, 2026, for eight HP ZBook Fury G1i 18-inch mobile workstations under the CHESS contract vehicle.
The order (W9124P-26-F-A642) was executed under FAR 16.505(a)(4)(iii) with a brand name justification limiting competition. Market research conducted May–June 2026 determined that only one vendor within the CHESS Consolidated Buy offered the specified HP ZBook Fury G1i configuration meeting technical requirements. Each workstation includes NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell 135W (24 GB) GPUs, 2TB PCIe-4x4 2280 NVME SED OPAL2 TLC SSDs, Intel Xeon processor with ECC memory, 18.4-inch 4K UHD display, and 5-year CONUS next-business-day warranty with defective media retention. The workstations serve as Vulnerability Investigation, Penetration, and Exploitation Repository (VIPER) kits to replace 2021-era equipment and enable GPU-accelerated credential cracking and on-device Large Language Model inference for vulnerability analysis and payload development. The brand name justification was reviewed and approved prior to solicitation issuance and is marked for redaction per FAR 8.405-6(b)(3).
