Hardware Enabled AI Acceleration Assessment Event

The U.S. Government's data science portfolio is rapidly expanding its reliance on large-scale AI workloads. To sustain this growth and maintain a strategic edge, the program requires cutting-edge GPU acceleration. The objective of this Assessment Event is to acquire, deliver, and install/deploy advanced GPU hardware that will add a high-bandwidth, energy-efficient GPU capability. The solution must be a complete, rack-mounted server suitable for immediate deployment in a data center at a remote site. Key requirements include high-speed Peripheral Component Interconnect express-based network connectivity, pre-installed storage and memory subsystems, and the ability to quickly install necessary software. * The system will support large language model workloads for up to 100+ concurrent users. * The server must include all necessary hardware to operate the GPUs safely and efficiently. * The solution must support deployment to two networks, within air-gapped or otherwise strictly isolated environments. * The server(s) and all GPUs shall be physically and logically isolated from each other, and any non-approved networks. * Vendors must provide a turnkey solution that minimizes on-site assembly, configuration, and troubleshooting.
