- Description
- In accordance with FAR 5.204, this pre-solicitation notice is being issued by the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville (CEHNC) to announce an upcoming order under the DOD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Technology Insertion Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). This order will address the DOD Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC) portion of Technology Insertion 2013 (TI13). Procedures for the BOA order will be issued in accordance with FAR 16.703. This pre-solicitation notice is NOT a request for proposals (RFP). Do not request the RFP in advance or submit any material, information, or brochures in response to this notice. The RFP will be issued in electronic format only and will be available on or about 12 Aug 2013. The DOD HPCMP intends to acquire balanced, commercially-available, production-grade HPC systems (which contain an appropriate combination of processor, memory, disk input/output [I/O], interconnect, and operating system [OS] capabilities) in order to conduct complex, tightly-coupled, large-scale, scientific calculations at two locations: (1) the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) DSRC and (2) the Navy DSRC. A solution for the AFRL DSRC must include one base system and one test and development system, and a solution for the Navy DSRC must include two base systems and one test and development system. (A more detailed discussion of the Government's requirements will be provided in the upcoming RFP.) The offeror may provide multiple solutions for each DSRC. The total non-recurring price for each DSRC solution should be within a non-recurring affordability ceiling of $20.8M, and shall be calculated by adding the following elements: For the AFRL DSRC, - Price of the base system (including all delivery, assembly, acceptance testing, and necessary personnel to produce an operational system) - Price of the test and development system For the Navy DSRC, - Price of base system #1 (including all delivery, assembly, acceptance testing, and necessary personnel to produce an operational system) - Price of base system #2 (including all delivery, assembly, acceptance testing, and necessary personnel to produce an operational system) - Price of the test and development system All recurring prices (i.e. those for administration/maintenance and OS source code access) collectively should not exceed $1M for any single year. The total price for each DSRC solution (over a four year period), therefore, should not exceed $24.8M. Tentative Schedule 12 Aug 2013 - Issue TI13 DSRC RFP (with benchmarks) 21 Aug 2013 - Pre-proposal conference with offerors 1 Oct 2013 - Offeror proposals due 18 Nov 2013 - Order(s) awarded Anticipated Benchmarks 1. Air Vehicles Unstructured Solver (AVUS) - a computational fluid dynamics code that models fluid flow around irregular geometries 2. Computational Hydrodynamics and Radiative Thermal Diffusion Squared to the Three-Halves (CTH) - a computational structural mechanics code developed by Sandia National Laboratories that models blast and impact effects 3. General Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure System (GAMESS) - a general ab initio quantum chemistry package 4. Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) - an ocean general circulation modeling code developed by the University of Miami, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Naval Research Laboratory 5. Metadata Test (mdtest) - a parallel file system performance test designed to determine the number of achievable input/output operations per second (IOPs) for various file system functions 6. Input/Output Rate Test (IOR) - a parallel file system performance test designed to determine aggregate data throughput in gigabytes per second (GB/s) Restrictions - All systems must be manufactured in the United States. - Proposals will only be accepted from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
