Specialized Computer Hardware, for Portfolio Capability Executive (PAE) Fires

The U.S. Army is conducting market research to identify Commercial‑off‑the‑Shelf (COTS) Specialized Computer Hardware (SCH) that can immediately support multiple critical Portfolio Capability Executive (PAE) Fires missions and sustain intense workloads. Respondents must submit a white paper (max 20 pages, 12‑point text, 9‑point figures) describing the hardware solution, including a technical overview, affordability estimate, projected integration‑test‑qualification‑to‑production schedule (highlighting long‑lead items), data‑rights assertions, and an analysis of technical, programmatic, and supply‑chain risks. The submission must also detail prior component or system‑of‑systems testing, conformity with the U.S. Government’s open‑systems initiatives (e.g., MOSA), key performance capabilities, and current and projected Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) for system and subsystems, indicating whether the solution is existing or requires development. In addition to the technical white paper, vendors must provide a three‑page Company Capability statement (including relevant past performance, contract numbers, and subcontractor plans) and complete Business Information (company name, address, CAGE, UEI, contact data, NAICS 423430 classification, small‑business status, and ownership details). This Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation SCH‑26‑01) is for information only; no contract will be awarded, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with the response. All responses become government property and will be used to assess industry interest and capability.
