Compute & Networking Module Development

The contract calls for the design and supply of four miniaturized, ruggedized modules that perform routing, switching, and virtualized compute functions, with an emphasis on seamless interchangeability and integration into a standardized chassis environment. These modules must be engineered for durability under demanding operational conditions while maintaining compact form factors to support space-constrained deployments. The deliverables are oriented toward high-performance computing and network infrastructure, requiring advanced integration of hardware and software functions in a modular architecture that allows rapid field replacement without disruption to system operations. This is a subcontract under the Government of Canada, managed by the National Research Council of Canada, with performance expected within the National Capital Region. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, and responses are due by May 15, 2026. The NAICS code 334118 indicates classification under Other Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing, reflecting the specialized nature of the hardware development required. The project is positioned to support critical national infrastructure needs through advanced, modular, and field-deployable computing solutions.
