PSSC PowerWulf ZXR1+ Cluster H8000G2

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, through its IT Procurement Office, has justified awarding a sole-source contract to PSSC Labs for the PSSC PowerWulf ZXR1+ HPC Cluster under order number 80TECH26F0123. This justification is based on the unique and highly specialized nature of the required hardware, which cannot be replicated or substituted by other vendors without compromising performance, compatibility, or mission-critical functionality. The system, specifically the H8000G2 model, is essential for NASA’s high-performance computing needs, and no alternative vendor can meet the technical specifications, integration requirements, or quality standards necessary for the agency’s operations. The solicitation number for this action is 80TECH26QA087, posted on July 20, 2026, with the North American Industry Classification System code 334111 indicating computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing. The contract is administered by NASA’s IT Procurement Office located in Greenbelt, Maryland, and the hardware will be deployed at a performance location in Orlando, Florida, with a ZIP code of 32899. Primary point of contact for this procurement is Jonathan Gomez, with Cory Rasnic serving as the secondary contact. Both can be reached via their NASA email addresses. The justification was prepared in accordance with federal contracting regulations to ensure transparency and compliance while securing a mission-critical system available from only one qualified source.
