High Performance Computing Cluster

Texas A&M University is seeking a single‑vendor solution to design, supply, install, integrate, and support a new high‑performance computing (HPC) cluster to replace its existing “Grace” supercomputer. The system must be built on x86‑64 processors, include CPU and GPU nodes, a high‑performance storage platform of at least 8 PB usable capacity, and a 400 Gb/s InfiniBand fabric. Delivery, installation, and acceptance must be completed by the end of July 2026, with all hardware shipped FOB Destination to College Station, TX. The solicitation requires submission of a HUB Subcontracting Plan, detailed tariff disclosures, and a sample Certificate of Insurance. Evaluation will be based on best‑value criteria, technical compliance, trade‑in valuation, and pricing. • Provide ~1,200 compute nodes (including CPU‑only, GPU‑accelerated, and large‑memory configurations) plus networking and storage infrastructure. • Install the equipment in the West Campus Data Center, integrate with existing campus networks, and provide next‑business‑day support and a 5‑year warranty. • Submit a complete HUB Subcontracting Plan; failure to do so results in automatic disqualification.
