Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NSWC Philadelphia Division, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of brand-name Dell hardware to support the CVN 78 MCMS ISEA/SSA transition from HII-NNS to NSWCPD. This acquisition is crucial for establishing a new CVN 78 Lab-Based Test Environment (LBTF), which will minimize fleet support downtime and ensure strike force interoperability. Proposals are due by February 18, 2026.
Scope of Work
This opportunity requires the supply of specific Dell hardware, including:
- Dell PowerEdge R760 Servers (2 units) with custom accessories.
- Commercial Monitor, 55" UHD 4K (1 unit).
- Smart-UPS with SmartConnect, 1500 VA, 120VAC, Rack mountable (1 unit).
This equipment is essential to run the OEM's shipboard representation virtualization, enabling testing, remote troubleshooting, and software development within the LBTF. The brand-name Dell hardware is justified due to compatibility with existing systems, developed source code, and to prevent the introduction of grey market hardware, thereby avoiding significant integration challenges and delays.
