The objective is to replace legacy infrastructure with a unified computational backbone that compresses the cycle time between budget queries and warfighting insights. This architecture must integrate three functional layers: a high-performance simulation execution layer for large-scale model runs, a machine-learned surrogate emulation layer for hosting government-developed models, and an intuitive self-service quantitative analysis layer for visualization and sensitivity analysis. The technical requirements specify a high-performance compute environment capable of executing between 1,200 simulations in 10 hours for light cases and up to 150,000 simulations within two weeks for heavy cases. The system must operate at Impact Level 6, support network throughput between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps, and be accessible from the Pentagon and Mark Center. It must accommodate a diverse software ecosystem including Python, R, Java, PyTorch, and large language models. While the government will retain exclusive operational tenant administration and control over data and security permissions, the commercial provider will be responsible for turnkey managed IT operations, including hardware availability, patching, and cybersecurity hardening. Interested respondents must submit white papers by November 12, 2026, in accordance with Commercial Solutions Opening procedures.
