The U.S. Army is seeking information on Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) specialized computer hardware to support multiple critical missions with intense workloads. Responses are due by 30 June 2026, 1500 Central Standard Time, and must address specific performance requirements, including a 1U form factor, enterprise-class processors with 40+ cores, and at least 256 GB of ECC memory. The hardware must comply with various military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-901D, MIL-STD-810G) and be free of Chinese or other banned parts. The government will not reimburse submission costs, and all submitted documentation becomes U.S. Government property. This is a request for information only, not a solicitation for a contract.
