GPU Compute Servies for Network of Optimal Dynamic Energy Signatures

This RFQ seeks a single‑firm‑fixed‑price contract to provide commercial GPU‑compute services that meet high‑performance computing (HPC) and AI/ML workload needs. The award will cover a 5‑month base period with a 5‑month option, delivering at least 50 high‑end GPUs (minimum 25 per prior contract definition) in a dedicated, high‑availability environment (SLA ≥ 99.5 %). The contractor must provision, test, and make the GPUs available by May 15 2026, supply a current SOC 2 Type II certification, and ensure no data‑center locations are in adversarial nations. Pricing must be presented as a single, all‑inclusive per‑GPU‑hour rate that includes hardware, power, cooling, networking, maintenance, support, and installation. The solicitation also requires references to prior contracts of similar scope, size, and complexity, detailing contract number, client, point of contact, total value, and a brief service description. Proposals must be submitted electronically to NODES@darpa.mil in PDF or Microsoft Office format, with three distinct volumes: (I) Technical (max 10 pages, no pricing), (II) Price (no page limit), and (III) Administrative (no pricing). Text must be ≥ 11‑point Times New Roman; charts/diagrams may be up to 11″ × 14″. All questions are due by April 24 2026 5:00 PM EST, and quotes must remain valid for at least 90 days. Evaluation will first assess technical compliance (pass/fail) and then award on best value, considering price and other factors. A newly added CLIN 0003 may be used for ancillary services not covered by the hourly rate, and while the current effort does not involve Controlled Unclassified Information, future extensions could add CUI handling requirements.
