The Department of the Navy is seeking potential sources for a future hardware production contract for up to 60 SABER Computing Hardware suite units over a five-year period, with production starting after 2027. The requirement involves producing shipboard computing racks and related hardware to host cybersecurity applications, integrating commercial-off-the-shelf electronics to meet specific naval standards. The government is conducting market research and requests capability statements from interested U.S. parties, including those without direct SABER experience but with analogous program expertise. Respondents must describe their ability to manage design, production, systems engineering, and configuration management per a government technical data package. Access to controlled technical data requires certification through the Defense Logistics Agency's Joint Certification Program.
