About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation seeks to establish two to four firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for commercially available enterprise artificial intelligence hardware infrastructure, with proposals due August 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The procurement is unrestricted and carries a maximum aggregate value of $88,000,000 across all awarded contracts, with a $2,000 minimum guarantee per contract; the Government reserves the right to make a single award or a greater number based on best-value determination and may award by product category without obligation to award in every category.
The acquisition covers enterprise AI compute servers (estimated quantity four), rack-scale AI systems (estimated quantity two), pod-scale AI systems (estimated quantity one), AI inference servers and expansion hardware (estimated quantity ten), high-speed network interface cards and data processing units, OEM software and licenses, and OEM warranty and technical support. All products must be new, commercially available OEM equipment compatible with 19-inch racks, standard commercial data center environments, and Government-provided 110/220V power infrastructure, and capable of operating without Internet connectivity in secure, air-gapped Government facilities. All hardware requires a minimum three-year OEM warranty including hardware replacement, firmware updates, and technical support access. Delivery is FOB Destination to FBI CJIS Division facilities in Clarksburg, West Virginia, or alternate CONUS locations designated by the Government. The ordering period runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with final delivery required by August 31, 2028.
NAICS is 334111, Electronic Computer Manufacturing, with small business size standard of 1,250 employees. PSC is 7B20. Amendment 0003, issued August 20, clarifies that Category III pod-scale server eligibility requires compliance with Category III requirements and CLIN 0010 control-plane capability but does not mandate the optional Gemini on-premises capability (CLIN 0009 and subCLINs 0009AA and 0009AB); Gemini capability will be separately evaluated and may be required in individual delivery orders. Evaluation employs best-value tradeoff methodology, prioritizing technical capability over price, with factors including technical compliance, OEM authorization, product availability, delivery capability, and past performance (Pass/Fail/Neutral). Questions were due July 31, 2026; Amendments 0001 and 0002 provided Government responses and revised solicitation documents including Equipment Requirements Specification (Attachment 1), IDIQ Pricing Schedule (Attachment 2), Technical Compliance Matrix (Attachment 4), and associated CLINs.

Amendment 0003
Amendment 0003 is necessary to clarify the relationship between the Category III Pod Scale Server requirement under CLIN 0003 and the Gemini on-premises capability established under CLIN 0009 and subCLINs 0009AA and 0009AB.
Following issuance of Amendment 0002, an industry question identified that the solicitation could reasonably be interpreted to require every Offeror proposing Category III to furnish a hardware architecture capable of supporting the Gemini on-premises capability. That interpretation was broader than the Government’s intended acquisition strategy.
The Government intends Category III to provide a flexible vehicle for acquiring commercially available pod-scale AI infrastructure meeting the requirements of Attachment 1. The Gemini capability is an additional capability that may be required by individual FBI customers and Delivery Orders, but it is not intended to be a prerequisite for an Offeror to receive a Category III IDIQ award. Conversely, when an individual Delivery Order requires both Category III hardware and Gemini on-premises capability, the Government must be able to require and evaluate a complete, commercially supported solution capable of operating the required Gemini capability in the Government’s secure on-premises environment.
Amendment 0003 therefore clarifies that:
- Category III IDIQ eligibility is based on compliance with the applicable Category III requirements, including the required Category III control-plane capability under CLIN 0010;
- CLIN 0009 and subCLINs 0009AA and 0009AB represent an optional Gemini capability and are not required for every Category III IDIQ award;
- Offerors electing to propose the Gemini capability will be separately evaluated for that capability;
- a Delivery Order may establish Gemini capability as a mandatory technical requirement, and a proposed solution that cannot provide the required Gemini capability may be determined technically unacceptable for that Delivery Order; and
- terminology and corresponding solicitation provisions are revised as necessary to eliminate the implication that all Category III hardware must itself constitute the Gemini production platform.
These revisions do not change the Government’s fundamental requirement for Category III pod-scale AI infrastructure. Rather, they remove an ambiguity identified through industry feedback, align the solicitation with the Government’s intended ordering approach, preserve meaningful competition for Category III requirements that do not require Gemini, and ensure that the Government can require a technically acceptable Gemini-capable solution when Gemini is required at the Delivery Order level.
