About this forecast
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is procuring two Nutanix Servers Model DX320 as witness nodes for disaster recovery and one replacement node to upgrade the Integrated Local Services enclave at Mount Weather Emergency Operation Center to Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, supporting the Assured Transport Program/Fiber Tap Project. This total small business set-aside procurement was released on 2026-08-17 with an estimated award date of 2026-08-21. The upgrade aligns MWEOC's IT environments for consistency, reducing training requirements and streamlining maintenance while mitigating risks of project delays and increased operational costs.
The estimated award value ranges from $500,000 to $1,000,000 under a Firm Fixed Price IDIQ task order contract with performance scheduled from 2026-08-21 through 2026-11-30 at Bluemont, Virginia. The contracting office is 70FA50-OCPO (Continuity Branch).

Combined Nutanix HCI and Witness Nodes Projects
System 1: Witness Nodes of Enclaves
The Mount Weather Emergency Operation Center (MWEOC) replaced the aging virtual infrastructure of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) enclaves using the Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) during the first quarter of FY25. The MWEOC is currently tasked with adding two (2) Nutanix Servers Model DX320 to the HCI to serve as witness nodes for disaster recovery.
System 2: Integrated Local Services (ILS) Replacement Node
The MWEOC replaced the aging virtual infrastructure of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) enclaves using the Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) during the Last Quarter of FY25. The MWEOC is currently tasked with upgrading the Integrated Local Service (ILS) enclave to a similar Nutanix HCI infrastructure. This system upgrade is in support of the Assured Transport Program/Fiber Tap Project.
Replacing/upgrading the current ILS enclave with a Nutanix infrastructure aligns with the MWEOC’s goal of maintaining consistency across all IT environments. This uniformity will reduce training requirements within the engineering group and streamline maintenance efforts. Failing to acquire this Nutanix infrastructure will introduce significant risks to the project including potential delays to overall program completion, increased need for operational personnel and additional costs of training.
