Enterprise GPU Servers for Artificial Intelligence – Multiple-Award IDIQ
Solicitation # 15F06726R0000307
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking commercially available enterprise artificial intelligence hardware infrastructure through a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum aggregate value of $88,000,000 and a minimum guarantee of $2,000 per contract. The acquisition targets enterprise AI compute servers, rack-scale and pod-scale AI systems, inference servers, high-speed networking components, associated OEM software licenses, and comprehensive warranty and technical support. All products must be new, genuine, commercially available OEM items sourced through authorized channels, with no refurbished, gray market, counterfeit, or used equipment permitted. The contract requires three-year minimum OEM warranties with registration of the Government as the end user and ongoing support entitlements that remain active even after contract closeout. Products must include all applicable security updates at shipment and comply with the Equipment Requirements Specification, with immediate notification required for end-of-life, end-of-support, product recalls, or obsolescence. Proposals must be submitted in three volumes—Technical, Past Performance, and Price—by August 17, 2026, via email to mgolicz@fbi.gov, with no submissions through SAM.gov. Technical Capability is the most important evaluation factor, assessed collectively on compliance, solution design, OEM authorization, availability, and delivery timelines; Past Performance determines eligibility; and Price is evaluated quantitatively in a trade-off analysis where technical superiority outweighs cost unless proposals are substantially equal. Packaging must follow commercial practices with proper ESD protection, and all shipments must be marked with contract number, CLIN, model, quantity, and destination. Delivery occurs FOB Destination under the Government's designated locations primarily within the continental United States, with an ordering period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and final delivery cutoff of August 31, 2028. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform, and all offerors must maintain active SAM registration and submit complete FAR 52.212-3 representations. Non-OEMs must provide proof of OEM authorization, and all products require authenticity certification. The acquisition is unrestricted, with no socioeconomic set-asides, but subcontracting plans are required for other-than-small business offerors. The Government may award two to four contracts, including a single award, and is not obligated to award under every product category.
