This sole-source procurement is being conducted under solicitation N0017825P6845 as a Request for Quotation for commercial items, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13. The chassis specifications include an 18-inch depth configuration with specific technical requirements including dual 5.25-inch drive bays, front USB ports, card restraining brackets, and steel/aluminum sheet metal construction, along with high-performance computing components such as an Intel Platinum Gold processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, and multiple NVMe SSDs. The procurement requires TAA-compliant materials and will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis. Proposals are due by August 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with no separate written solicitation to be issued following this combined synopsis/solicitation notice.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designation, with Core Systems of Poway, California being the sole-source manufacturer due to the hardware currently being fielded on fleet assets and the exclusive nature of the required acquisition systems. The solicitation seeks to acquire one unit with a delivery timeline of 20 weeks from the date of award. Performance will occur at the Combat Direction Systems Activity in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with shipping costs required for FOB destination delivery to Virginia Beach, VA 23461-2097. The government has indicated that introducing alternative manufacturers' hardware would prevent operators and fleet personnel from utilizing key applications developed specifically for the existing Core Systems hardware. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) despite being categorized under PSC code 2330 (Trailers).
