- Description
- Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for the Advanced AI and cluster supercomputing resources for data analysis, modeling and related work supporting TBI, PTSD, Stroke, SCI and Aging research. This includes the purchase of Normalized Computing Unit (NCU) 186 EA, TB Blue Storage (BSU), and Normalized Graphics Processor Unit (NGU) 20 EA with the University of Florida, 1523 Union Rd Rm 207, Gainesville, FL 32611-1941 for the Malcom Randall Veterans Affair, Brain Rehabilitation Research Center, 1601 S.W. Archer Road, Gainesville, FL 32608. Due to the affiliate relationship with the Malcom Randall Veterans Affair, as well as the fact that this equipment will directly connect to a specific cluster at the academic affiliate. There are no alternates or substitutes with which are adequately networked or able to use. This purchase extends and enhances the ongoing use of this system. Any transition to an alternate not only would result in inferior capability and useability but would incur substantial transition costs and effort. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO). The applicable NAICS code is 541715 with a 1000 employee size standard. The PSC is 6640. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at annmarie.stewart@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
