Quantum-Native Simulation System Development

The contract seeks the design and development of fully quantum-native modeling and simulation systems, requiring the creation of data structures and operational workflows that are fundamentally built for quantum computing architectures rather than adapted from classical systems. This effort focuses on pioneering new approaches that leverage quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement to enable simulations with capabilities beyond classical limits, targeting advanced applications in areas like materials science, logistics optimization, or security analysis. The project demands deep expertise in quantum algorithms, quantum software development, and simulation theory to produce viable prototypes that demonstrate tangible advantages over conventional methods. The opportunity is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, indicating it falls within the computer systems design and related services category, and is issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security within the Department of Commerce. Responses are due by September 9, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed at a location with the city code 53470, though exact geographic details are not specified. There is no set-aside designation or point of contact provided, and proposers must navigate the opportunity through the official SAM.gov portal to submit their proposals.
