SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE: Quantity of three (3) computer workstations

The document is a Sources Sought Notice issued by the U.S. Army, aimed at gathering information about potential suppliers for three computer workstations. It serves as a market research tool rather than a formal solicitation, encouraging responses from various sectors, including small businesses and those owned by disadvantaged groups. The notice details the classification and NAICS codes, specifying that the size standard is up to 1,250 employees. Interested parties must respond by 23 June 2025, indicating their capabilities, type of business, and relevant past performance. Responses should be submitted to Jamie White via email, and the estimated delivery timeframe for the workstations is January 2026. This initiative reflects the government's intent to ensure competition and support small and diverse businesses in federal procurement processes. Proper response submission guidelines are provided to facilitate participation.

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) requests procurement of three tower workstations to support AI/ML research. Each computer must meet specific minimum specifications including an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X CPU, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU, and 512 GB ECC RAM. Storage requirements include two 2 TB SSDs for the operating system, four 4 TB SSDs for work, and a 20 TB internal hard drive. Connectivity features include a 10 Gb Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7 capability. The systems should run on Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop OS, with sufficient cooling and power supply, and come with a three-year warranty covering parts, labor, and storage media retention. Delivery is required at the Adelphi Laboratory Center in Adelphi, Maryland. This request underscores the Army's focus on enhancing its technological infrastructure for advanced research capabilities.
