The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is soliciting two custom high-performance workstations under solicitation N0017826Q6776, exclusively from Freedom USA Inc. DBA AVADirect Custom Computers, through a sole source procurement authorized under FAR 6.103-1(b). The requirement, classified under NAICS code 334111 and PSC 7B20 for high-performance compute hardware and perpetual software, specifies fully assembled systems featuring an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX 96-core processor, dual GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GPUs, 1TB of DDR5 ECC RAM, and advanced liquid cooling with thermal paste, all built to exacting military performance standards. The procurement is justified due to proprietary engineering and compatibility constraints that prevent the use of alternative systems, with an estimated 480 direct productive person hours saved by avoiding integration and testing of non-AVADirect platforms. All costs, including shipping to Dahlgren, VA 22448-5114, tariffs, and duties, must be included in a firm fixed-price quotation, and no additional charges will be permitted post-award. The solicitation, issued as a combined synopsis and RFQ under FAR Part 12, requires submissions to be made by June 4, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST, exclusively by authorized resellers who provide a valid Letter of Authorization from the OEM. Offerors must be actively registered in SAM, comply with all representations and certifications, and adhere strictly to the terms without exceptions. Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with pass/fail gates including SAM registration, reseller authorization, and conformance to solicitation requirements. Each system must be uniquely identified per MIL-STD-130 and shipped per MIL-STD-129, with full item data reported via the Material Inspection and Receiving Report. Payment will be processed electronically through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), requiring notification to the contracting officer and COR for each submission. The contract includes clauses addressing cybersecurity, supply chain risk, disputes, changes, and compliance with Buy American and Trade Agreements obligations, with a delivery period of eight weeks from award date and inspection to occur at the receiving facility in Dahlgren, VA, during specified business hours.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to procure products/service manufactured by Freedom USA Inc. DBA AVADirect Custom Computers. See the attached Requirements List, as applicable.
AVADirect Custom Computers is located in Twinsburg, OH.
Extensive research of different systems and discussions with multiple vendors for several makes and models identified that the AVADirect hardware is the only product that could meet the specific performance parameters, size and compatibility. Proprietary rights limit competition. Selection of an alternate brand would cause the Government to incur additional time, estimated at 480 Direct Productive Person Hours 2 (DPPH), to integrate and test an alternate computer can support the required CEM software and
process the data correctly, which AVADirect computers have already proven.
All costs associated with this requirement must be included in the quoted price. This includes shipping and freight to Dahlgren, VA 22448-5114 as well as any tariff or duty charges. No additional costs may be added after award. Where applicable, DFARS 252.225-7013, Duty-Free Entry, will be incorporated. The Government will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the order will be issued on a firm fixed-price basis.
