Sovereign Defense Cloud for High-Performance Computing Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is seeking innovative solutions to modernize its High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) into a cloud-forward ecosystem. The goal is to create a future-ready HPCMP platform that integrates emerging technologies, modern cloud principles, and advanced architectures to deliver a resilient, scalable, and secure solution. The desired outcome is a sovereign, cloud-enabled, AI-driven platform that empowers the government to maintain technological superiority. Key aspects of the project include: • Modernizing the user experience • Enabling a hybrid cloud architecture • Automating workflows • Integrating a secure data fabric • Preventing vendor lock-in The project aims to identify innovative solutions that will enable the HPCMP to meet the evolving needs of the government.
