About this opportunity
The 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to PSSC Labs for a PowerWulf compute cluster by August 3, 2026, under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii). The requirement is a PowerWulf ZXR1+ Cluster (either H4000G1 or H8000G1 model) with MATLAB Compiled Runtime for R2026a and Python 3.12 or later pre-installed and supported. The cluster will deliver 816 AMD EPYC processor cores, 4.352 terabytes of high-performance memory, 40+ terabytes of redundant raw storage, 10 GigE networking, redundant power infrastructure, Red Hat Linux 8.x with one-year subscription, TPM 2.0 security, ARCTOS verification, TAA compliance, and three-year complete warranty. PSSC Labs is the sole qualified source because the system must integrate with ARCTOS application software and existing PSSC Labs on-site infrastructure, requiring ARCTOS certification and multi-processor mode capability. The procurement executes via GSA Multiple Award Schedule 47QTCA24D00FW. Interested parties may submit a narrative describing their capabilities to scott.yeaple@spaceforce.mil and jessica.rowe.5@spaceforce.mil no later than August 3, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The Government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to open the requirement to competition; responses do not constitute a request for quote or proposal, and the Government reserves discretion to conduct a competitive procurement regardless of submissions received.
