About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification for the procurement of two specialized iHawk rackmount systems designed for real-time simulation computing applications supporting the Fast Line of Sight Imagery for Target and Exhaust Signatures Integrated Testbed (FLINT) systems. Each system features a 4.2 GHz Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX processor with 128 GB of 5600 MHz memory, an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition graphics card with 96 GB of dedicated graphics memory, 1 TB PCIe SSD storage, and specialized real-time computing components including a Real-Time Clock & Interrupt Module PCIe card, housed in a 4U SATA rackmount chassis with redundant 1230W power supplies and running 64-bit RedHawk Linux real-time operating system. The sole source justification was based on market research and a presolicitation notice published on September 2, 2025, which generated no competitive responses, and the government's determination that no other vendors are capable of meeting the specific technical requirements for these specialized simulation computers. The contract (FA865125PB015) was awarded on September 30, 2025, to an unnamed vendor for an anticipated contract value of less than $750,000 under 10 USC 3204(a)(1) authority. This acquisition was not set aside for small business concerns and falls under the Electronic Computer Manufacturing NAICS category (334111).
