The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify capable vendors for the procurement of two rugged rack-mounted server computers, with solicitation number N0017326RFICM03. The servers must meet stringent environmental and operational standards, including compliance with MIL-STD-810 for temperature, shock, vibration, humidity, and salt fog exposure; MIL-STD-461 for electromagnetic compatibility (RE102, CE102); MIL-S-901E for shipboard shock; MIL-STD-167-1A and MIL-STD-1474E for vibration and acoustic noise; and RTCA/DO-160 Category M for airborne equipment performance. The hardware specifications require an AMD EPYC 9555 processor, 8x 64GB DDR5 RAM, and 12.8TB NVMe SSDs with FIPS 140-2/140-3 and TCG OPAL encryption compliance. Responses are not solicitations or quotes and will not result in award; instead, they are intended solely to support budget planning, specification refinement, and potential future RFQ development. Interested parties must submit a capability statement via email by May 5, 2026, including company name, point of contact, business size and socioeconomic designations, Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, suggested NAICS and PSC codes, and whether the item is considered commercial under FAR 2.101. Technical responses should describe compliant products, suggest alternate configurations, provide estimated delivery timelines, and include cost estimates to assist the Government in establishing funding. The place of performance is Washington, DC, with inspection and acceptance to occur at the NRL facility, and no packaging, marking, or invoicing requirements are specified as this is a pre-solicitation RFI. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, or award criteria are included, and the Government will not reimburse any costs incurred in response to this notice.
