AI Contract Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to a single vendor for extended warranty support on Dell hardware comprising its High-Performance Computing Center of Excellence. This center, managed by the Office of Advanced Molecular Detection, provides critical computing, network, and storage infrastructure used by nearly all of CDC’s infectious disease programs for pathogen surveillance, outbreak investigations, and public health research. The requirement is solely justified due to the proprietary nature of the existing Dell infrastructure, which necessitates manufacturer-specific support to maintain compatibility, performance, and operational continuity across the HPC cluster. The government has determined that no other source can provide the required support without compromising system integrity or incurring prohibitive integration costs. This notice is not a competitive solicitation, but responses received within seven days of issuance may be considered for evaluation prior to proceeding with a sole source award. All submissions must be emailed to Peter Loree at [email hidden] no later than August 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST. While the statement “All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation” appears, the government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted, and responses will only be used to assess the validity of the sole source justification. The procurement falls under FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) with a NAICS code of 541513, and performance will occur in Atlanta, Georgia. Supporting documentation including the equipment list and sole source justification are attached to the solicitation.
