About this opportunity
The 30th Contracting Squadron, Vandenberg Space Force Base, intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to PSSC Labs for PowerWulf Compute Cluster equipment, with interested parties able to submit capabilities statements by August 6, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
The requirement encompasses two high-performance computing clusters: the PowerWulf ZXR1+ Cluster H8000G1 with 816 total AMD EPYC processor cores and 4,352 GB of high-performance ECC system memory, including CBeST Cluster Management Toolkit v6.0, and the PowerWulf ZXR1+ Cluster A24000 with 320 total AMD EPYC processor cores and 1,920 GB of high-performance ECC system memory with CBeST Cluster Management Toolkit. PSSC Labs is identified as the sole developer, manufacturer, and supporter of these systems and the only ARCTOS-certified solution capable of running the ARCTOS Range Risk Analysis Tool software in multiprocessor mode. Award will be executed under GSA Multiple Award Schedule 47QTCA24D00FW in accordance with GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii). The justification emphasizes that compatibility with existing onsite systems previously procured from PSSC Labs is critical; adding non-certified equipment would void warranty coverage and substantially increase risks to a critical launch safety system. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Scott Yeaple (scott.yeaple@spaceforce.mil) and Jessica Rowe (jessica.rowe.5@spaceforce.mil). Submission of capabilities statements is entirely at the vendor's own expense and will not be reimbursed.
