AI Software & Middleware Development

The contract seeks the development and optimization of AI frameworks, libraries, and middleware tailored for high-performance supercomputing environments, with a strong emphasis on distributed training pipelines and scalable algorithms designed to maximize computational efficiency. The work must support advanced research initiatives within the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, focusing on software solutions that leverage massive parallelism and heterogeneous architectures to accelerate AI workloads at scale. Performance of the contract will be based in Lemont, Illinois, with a submission deadline of August 21, 2026, and the work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541511, indicating it is part of a broader research and development effort in computer systems design. There is no designated set-aside classification, and while the point of contact details are not provided, interested parties must respond through the SAM.gov portal to participate. The project demands deep expertise in AI infrastructure, system-level optimization, and integration with supercomputing ecosystems.
