High-Performance Computing Upgrade

The Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (FLCN), on behalf of the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, is seeking qualified sources to provide network hardware and graphics processing unit (GPU) servers to support a high-performance computing infrastructure upgrade for the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) at the John C. Stennis Space Center. The procurement includes specialized equipment such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise Cray XD2000 servers, NVIDIA H100 NVL 94GB PCIe accelerators, AMD EPYC 9534 processors, Cisco Nexus network switches, and NetApp equipment, along with supporting software licenses and infrastructure components. This is a sources sought notice issued for market research and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Interested vendors must submit a 10-page response by 1100 EST on January 26, 2026, to rachel.a.appleby.civ@us.navy.mil and stephanie.r.lent.civ@us.navy.mil, including company details, CAGE Code, business size classification, and a capability statement with relevant past performance. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the government is assessing vendor qualifications and capability to deliver the required high-performance computing infrastructure.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and no incumbent contractor has been identified in the notice. The contract is anticipated to be structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) agreement with a 90-day delivery requirement following order receipt to the NAVOCEANO facility at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. While a specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the sources sought notice, the detailed product breakdown indicates a sophisticated and substantial procurement involving multiple high-end servers, accelerators, networking equipment, and software licensing. The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing) and PSC Category 7B20 (IT and Telecom – High Performance Compute). The underlying requirement is driven by NAVOCEANO's need to process over 65 million daily observations from federal, academic, and international partners and transition to GPU-optimized computing to address increasing data volumes and improve computational efficiency.
