Research and Development Efforts for High Performance Computing

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a bridge action by modifying the current Task Order for Research and Development Efforts for High Performance Computing. The purpose of this modification is to provide continuity of specialized Research, Development, Testing, & Evaluation (RDT&E) services to the Information Technology Division (ITD) located at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The services include comprehensive efforts to improve end-to-end computer network performance over an entire network enterprise. • The network enterprise includes all layers of the network stack and the displays, GUI applications, data, storage, security, and protocols. • The effort extends from the tactical edge to the High Performance Networking Center (HPC). • The bridge period will be for six months, with a revised and estimated period of performance from 29 July 2026 through 28 January 2027.
