AI Contract Overview
The Naval Research Laboratory intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price purchase order to The MathWorks, Inc. under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for up to $250,000 to provide consulting services supporting prototyping on the AMD Versal AI Core VCK190 and Alpha-Data VA601 platforms. The scope of work includes developing Linux images using PetaLinux, creating HDL reference designs and plugin files for ADC/DAC integration via JESD204C and AXI4-Stream interfaces, configuring AI Engine components, and validating bitstreams through functional testing, totaling an estimated 410 person-hours. All services will be performed at the contractor’s premises, with final acceptance occurring at the Navy’s facility in Washington, DC, based solely on the functionality and completeness of deliverables as defined in the Statement of Work. The procurement is justified as sole source because no other provider can meet the specialized technical requirements tied to Xilinx-based reference designs and toolchains, with the North American Industry Classification System code 513210 and Product Service Code DA01 applied. Interested parties may respond within three calendar days by submitting evidence that competition would be advantageous, though any such submission will not result in reimbursement, and the decision to compete or proceed non-competitively remains solely at the government’s discretion. No formal solicitation, evaluation factors, or contract clauses are included, and pricing details are not yet established beyond the statutory ceiling. The point of contact for all correspondence is Erik Wells at the Naval Research Laboratory, and responses must reference the solicitation number N0017326Q5528.
