Ruggedized 3U Server Integration and Assembly

The contract involves the full integration, assembly, testing, and delivery of a custom 3U ruggedized server designed to meet stringent environmental, performance, and security requirements. The server must comply with FIPS 140-3 standards for cryptographic module security and include in-band diagnostics capabilities to ensure real-time operational monitoring and fault detection. The system is engineered for durability under harsh conditions, ensuring reliability in defense and aerospace environments where standard commercial hardware would fail. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Naval Air Warfare Center, part of the Department of Defense, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 334111 for computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing. The response deadline is August 13, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed at an unspecified location within the United States. No specific set-aside information is provided, indicating the opportunity may be open to any qualified small or large business. The project requires a high level of technical expertise in rugged computing, security compliance, and systems integration to satisfy the mission-critical needs of the U.S. Navy.
