TVHS - Supermicro IoT Superserver SYS-322GA-NR

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (VISN 9), is soliciting quotes for a Supermicro IoT SuperServer SYS-322GA-NR (Configuration 2) configured with dual Intel Xeon 6980P processors, 16 x 64GB DDR5 memory, 2 x 1.92TB Micron M.2 NVMe drives, 2 x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, and Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS with a three-year advanced parts replacement warranty, along with one Micron 7450 PRO Series 7.68TB E1.S NVMe solid state drive. This is a brand name requirement with no substitutions accepted, issued by the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) Nashville Campus Research & Development Service. Offerors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM), provide an OEM Authorization Distributor Letter, and maintain firm pricing for 30 days. The contract is firm-fixed-price with delivery required by June 1, 2026. The solicitation was originally due on March 27, 2026, but an amendment extended the quote deadline to 5:00 PM Central Daylight Time on Monday, March 30, 2026. All quotes must be submitted electronically to the contracting officer, Elizabeth Trimm, at Elizabeth.Trimm@va.gov.

This is a 100% small business set-aside solicitation with no identified incumbents. The estimated acquisition value is $80,819.00, falling within the simplified acquisition threshold and authorized under single source procurement procedures due to the specialized nature of CUDA architecture GPU software requirements essential for the laboratory's open-source specimen data processing applications. The single-source justification specifically addresses the incompatibility of alternative proprietary FPGA-based equipment, which costs more than twice as much and relies on abandoned technology. Performance of the contract will occur at the VAMC Nashville located at 1310 24th Ave South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, with delivery marked for Patrick Lynch, R&D - Smith's Lab, under FOB destination terms. The period of performance for the main server extends from April 30 to June 1, 2026, while the solid state drive period of performance runs from April 1 to June 1, 2026. Payment will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer upon submission of invoices through the VA's e-invoicing system.
