High Performance Computing Modernization Program - Technology Insertion

Added: Mar 26, 2017 7:37 pm SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION

The US Army Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville (CEHNC), is issuing this synopsis in order to publicize its intention to solicit an order for the installation and maintenance of a supercomputer system that will be awarded off of the Technology Insertion (TI) Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA).

The most applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) is 334111, Electronic Computer Manufacturing. The small business size standard is 1,250 employees.
The request for proposals is anticipated to be issued May 2017.

At this time the order is anticipated to be for Technical Insertions at Department of Defense Facilities Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC); Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) DSRC, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

These services support the High Performance Computing Modernization Program which provides supercomputing capabilities to the Department of Defense's Research, Development, Test and Evaluation community. The services to be provided include on-site system administration, remedial hardware/software inspection and maintenance, and preventative hardware/software inspection and maintenance.
The proposed system must be a balanced, commercially-available, production-grade High Performance Computing system that contains an appropriate combination of processor, memory, interconnect, disk input/output (I/O), and operating system (OS) capabilities in order to execute complex, tightly-coupled, large-scale, scientific calculations; more specifically, the system must be able to successfully execute a variety of workloads, including jobs which stress all subsystems and which require the simultaneous, tightly-coupled use of the full number of compute nodes within the system.

You must be registered in System for Award management (SAM) Database to receive a Government contract award. You may register at: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/sam/
