- Description
- This synopsis/solicitation is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood the FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Navy Sea Systems Command. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is N00178-10-R-1024 and is issued as a request for proposal. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, intends to procure CLIN 0001 a High Performance Computing Cluster for performing physics-based computation with a quantity of 1 lot and price not to exceed $486,585.00. This system will be a Hewlett Packard or Silicon Graphics Federal (SGI) distributed memory Linux cluster tailored to meet the requirements for parallel numerical computations of large problems with computational fluid dynamics, finite element and hydrocode software. The system will also run visualization software for the large data sets produced by the numerical computations as well as mesh generation software to produce large computational meshes for complex geometries. Numerical software such as CTH and ALE3D hydrocodes, LSDYNA finite element software and the CRAFT flow solver are to be run on this system. The systems must meet all of the following technical requirements. General Key aspects of the machine are 1) "64-bit" CPU architecture; 2)Rack-mount physical build; and 3) "Turn-Key" level of integration. Detailed minimum specifications are 1) Minimum of 1 GB RAM per compute CPU core; 2) User I/O capabilities with workstation level graphics (e.g. nVidia Quadro), high resolution LCD display, keyboard and mouse; 3) Rack mounted slide-out LCD, Keyboard, Trackpad; 4) Low-latency interconnect; 5) Gigabit ethernet network; 6) Power distribution system should have a minimum of 10% margin when machine is running at 100% utilization; 7) Installed and configured software will include queuing system, centralized node-monitoring software, machine imaging and maintenance tools, 64-bit Portland Group compiler and at least one Message Passing Interfa! ce (MPI) implementation; 8) 16 TB RAID 6 directly attached mass storage installed and configured; 9) High quality power distribution units; and 10) LTO-4 tape library of sufficient size to back up data on directly attached mass storage unit. Proposals will be evaluated on Core count with the higher core count the more desirable and processor clock speed with the faster clock speed being more desirable. The RFP must provide complete written documentation of the integration of software and hardware. The RFP must include a one day on site training to one NSWCDD representative on the installation and configuration of the Linux operating system and cluster package. The system will be accepted as a turnkey solution only when all written documentation has been received, installation and configuration of the Linux operating system and cluster package is complete and the computing cluster is operational, and on-site training has been completed. The RFP shall not include long term maintenance. The award will be in accordance with FAR 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. All warranty information shall be included within the proposal. Proposals will only be accepted from Hewlett Packard or Silicon Graphics Federal (SGI) or their authorized resellers.
