About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration is procuring 14 new computer servers to replace outdated equipment at its Target Generation Facility in New Jersey. The solicitation (692M15-26-P-00007) requires rackmount systems configured with 6-core/32-thread 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9175F processors, 128GB DDR5-6400 ECC Registered SDRAM, 2TB Samsung SSD 9100 PRO NVMe M.2 drives with PCIe 5.0 support, dual-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on Intel X550 technology, and AlmaLinux 8.10 64-bit operating systems. All equipment must be new (refurbished equipment is explicitly prohibited), and quotes must demonstrate full compliance with the detailed technical specifications provided; the FAA has clarified that while the procurement is not brand-specific, equivalent components must meet or exceed minimum performance specifications with complete technical documentation and manufacturer support contacts included in proposals. Evaluation will be conducted on a low-price technically acceptable basis, with technical acceptability defined strictly by adherence to the specifications. The proposal due date is February 20, 2026, with clarification questions answered through February 12, 2026.
This is an unrestricted, full and open competition with no small business set-aside. The total budget is $125,000, and the requirement encompasses 14 complete systems with delivery required within 60 days after receipt of order to the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Each server system must include a three-year parts warranty with express advance parts replacement, lifetime technical support, three-year labor coverage, and FOB delivery with freight paid. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity Identifier prior to award and must comply with various federal requirements including Buy American Act provisions, debarment certifications, and the new FAA interim clause requiring certification regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the Delphi eInvoicing system with net 30 payment terms, and the technical point of contact is Kevin Smith at 609-485-4574 or kevin.p.smith@faa.gov.

Update #3 · Latest ·
2/12/2026: the additional four (4) questions and answers (numbered 4-7) are being posted to clarify the requirement.
4) Can you confirm what specific drives you plan on using for the servers?
Answer: 4th paragraph down in the spec….1 solid state memory drive.
5) I wanted to confirm if this will be purchased through SAVES or not?
Answer: This will not be purchased through SAVES
6) Could you please confirm whether this request is brand-specific or if equivalent/ comparable specs are acceptable? If equivalents are allowed, please let us know if alternatives that meet or exceed the spec sheet requirements would be considered.
Answer: This is not brand name specific. Equivalents that meet or exceed the spec are allowed but bear in mind this is essentially low price technically acceptable with technical acceptability defined by the specifications.
7) Additionally, could you confirm the quantities for each line item (e.g., hard drives, memory, CPUs)?
Answer: See the response to question 3 posted on 2/10.

2/10/2026: The following three (3) questions and answers are being posted to clarify the requirement.
1) How much total memory are you needing per node?
Answer: Total Memory is Per unit/computer The required RAM memory per the spec is 128GB DDR5-6400 ECC Registered 288-Pin SDRAM Quality Burn-in Certified by @Xi Req. 8+ DIMM MDB, 2+ CPU, max RAM speed CPU & load dependent and only for AMD & Xeon with DDR5 support as noted. Requires Rackmount with adequate ventilation.)
2) Can we use SAVES?
Answer: Market Research was conducted via SAVES and the requirement was either not bid or the response was inadequate (missing specs) to determine compatibility with the requirement. This is being competed full and open.
3) Could you please confirm whether this request is brand-specific or if equivalent/ comparable specs are acceptable? If equivalents are allowed, please let us know if alternatives that meet or exceed the spec sheet requirements would be considered.
Additionally, could you confirm the quantities for each line item (e.g., hard drives, memory, CPUs)?
Answer: Neither the completed server, nor any of the components are brand specific; they are available and used by many computer manufactures to build complete computer systems in the commercial markets. Any component chosen must meet the minimum stated performance of the processor in GHz speeds; the bus speeds in MHz; and drive speeds in MB/s. This includes, but limited to, the motherboard, processor and cache, drives, RAM and all supporting components.
A complete list of specifications and performance curves must be provided with your Quote for review and comparison by the FAA against the list of requirements.
Manufacturer Support, Points of Contact must be provided with your Quote for confirmation of the provided specifications in the event component performance cannot be determined by the list of proposed specifications.The requirement is for (14) complete systems. The components provided in the Specs are commercially available to any supplier for these (14) complete systems. (1) of each component on the requirements list is required to complete (1) system for a total of (14) systems.
