About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), an office within the Department of the Navy, is conducting a market research request for information (RFI) regarding the procurement of two rugged rack-mounted server computers. The RFI, posted on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of May 5, 2026, seeks capability statements from potential vendors demonstrating their ability to meet detailed technical and environmental specifications. Key requirements include servers that are 3U or less in height and less than 22 inches in length, equipped with specific components such as AMD EPYC 9555 processors, 512GB of DDR5 memory, high-capacity NVMe storage with security compliance, and NVIDIA RTX PRO graphics cards. The procurement will evaluate responses based on technical capability to meet specifications, commercial versus noncommercial item classification, suggested alternate configurations, and estimated delivery schedules and pricing. This is explicitly not a solicitation, and responses will not obligate the government to issue a formal request for quotation or award any contract based on RFI submissions.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The government has not disclosed an expected award value or budget range for the requirement at this stage of market research. Interested vendors must submit capability statements via email containing company contact information, business size classification, DUNS and CAGE codes, appropriate NAICS and PSC codes, and detailed technical information addressing the draft specifications. The requirement is categorized under NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and PSC 7B22 (IT and Telecom - Compute: Servers). While the government will not reimburse costs associated with RFI responses, submission of a capability statement may position vendors favorably for consideration if a formal solicitation is issued subsequent to the completion of this market research phase.
