Thinkmate Workstations

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), a component of the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is procuring 12 ThinkMate VSX R5 340R7 high-performance computing systems through a firm fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis. The procurement justification rests on five years of existing ThinkMate infrastructure integration, with government algorithms and configurations that have been fine-tuned and automated across the systems; transitioning to an alternative manufacturer would require comprehensive algorithm review and rewrite, resulting in significant cost and schedule impacts. Each system must include specific hardware components including an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X processor, AMD X870 chipset, 128GB DDR5 RAM, dual 2.0TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe drives, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 10-Gigabit Ethernet adapter, ThinkMate VSX liquid cooling system, 850W power supply, and TPM 2.0 module with a three-year warranty. Quote submissions are due by February 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST via NASA SEWP, and must include itemized pricing, shipping costs, delivery terms, point of contact information, and CAGE code in Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat format. Active SAM registration is required prior to award, and contractors must provide unique item identifiers for items exceeding $5,000 in unit acquisition cost.

This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of existing ThinkMate infrastructure procurement with the current supplier. The government will make payment via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), and delivery of all 12 systems is required by March 15, 2026 on an F.O.B. Destination basis to Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The procurement is classified under NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and PSC 7B22 (IT and Telecom - Compute: Servers), reflecting the specialized high-performance computing nature of the requirement. The performance location is Newport, Rhode Island, where the systems will be delivered and integrated into existing Naval Undersea Warfare Center operations.
