About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC/C3NA) is seeking information on high-performance servers to support datalink gateway systems through this Request for Information (RFI). The procurement focuses on servers equipped with 1553 cards that will host the SPIDR (Scalable Portable Integrated Data Router) gateway manager and WINTAK map display software, which collectively process datalink messages, provide real-time geospatial data, and render complex 3D terrain and infrastructure models. This RFI aims to gather vendor information regarding hardware offerings, capabilities, and pricing for servers meeting or exceeding specified performance requirements. The evaluation will be based on vendors' ability to demonstrate technical specifications, support capabilities, and pricing for the required server configurations. The RFI response deadline is March 2, 2026, providing vendors with approximately one week to submit their information following the posting date of February 23, 2026.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and remains open to all qualified vendors. The procurement encompasses a quantity range of 20 to 100 servers, allowing for potential scalability based on government requirements and vendor capabilities. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, nor have any current contractors or incumbents been identified. The timeframe for formal solicitation and subsequent award remains to be determined pending the results of this RFI phase. Interested vendors in the high-performance computing hardware sector should prepare detailed technical specifications and pricing proposals to respond competitively to this anticipated procurement.
Notice text
AFLCMC/C3NA is seeking information on a high-performance server to be used on datalink gateway systems. The vendor should be able to support various quantities ranging from a minimum of 20 servers up to 100. These servers will also need a 1553 card* installed as part of the complete procurement as the server will host the SPIDR (Scalable Portable Integrated Data Router) gateway manager and WINTAK map display software. SPIDR software receives, translates, converts, filters, records and forwards datalink message and uses an interactive display to provide real-time geospatial data, running complex simulations with map overlays and rendering 3D models of terrain and infrastructure. This RFI aims to gather information from hardware vendors regarding their offerings, capabilities, and pricing for servers with the appropriate 1553 card installed, that meet or exceed the specified performance requirements.
