The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is soliciting quotations under a combined synopsis/solicitation (N0017826Q6774) for the procurement of ThinkMate servers, specifically those manufactured by Source Code LLC with part number RAX QH12-12E9. This sole source acquisition falls under NAICS code 334111 and is designated for IT and telecom compute systems (PSC 7B). The solicitation follows FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial items and uses Simplified Acquisition Procedures with a firm fixed-price contract. The requirement demands full cost inclusion covering shipping, freight to Dahlgren, VA, and any associated tariffs or duties, with no additional charges allowed post-award. Due to prior thermal engineering work completed by ThinkMate, replication with an alternative vendor would cause unacceptable delays, justifying the sole source award. Interested offerors must be registered in SAM and submit quotations by June 4, 2026, no later than 5:00 p.m. EST. Quotes should include evidence of authorized reseller status from the OEM and comply fully with the solicitation’s terms; exceptions may lead to rejection. Award will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable basis, and offerors are encouraged to provide pricing data to support fair and reasonable pricing determinations. All communications regarding this solicitation are to be directed to the point of contact, Keith Aubert, via email or phone prior to the closing date. The solicitation documents include a requirements list and the SF1449 form outlining the terms and conditions.
