Technology Insertion Basic Ordering Agreement   3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A.1 Objective. The primary objective of this Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) is to provide the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) with world-class high performance computing capabilities for the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The BOA holders will be responsible for providing the Government with balanced, commercially- available, production-grade High Performance Computing (HPC) systems, which contain an appropriate combination of processor, memory, disk Input/Output (I/O), interconnect, and Operating System (OS) capabilities in order to conduct complex, tightly-coupled, large-scale, scientific calculations.
A.2 Procurement Methodology. It is the intention of the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) to award a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to all qualified offerors. CEHNC does not have a target number of agreements for this BOA. All CLINS under this BOA are Firm Fixed Price (FFP).
A3. BOA. To ensure optimal competition, CEHNC will perform an annual review of the BOAs IAW FAR Subpart 16.703, which will offer an "on-ramp" opportunity for new qualifying firms. The government will also synopsize the projected requirements annually in order to provide industry insight into upcoming requirements. The government will synopsize each order requirement on the FedBizOpps website (www.fbo.gov), which will ensure BOA holders have notice and sufficient lead time to propose.
A.4 Ordering. BOAs will have an ordering period of three (3) years. BOA are not contracts, but written terms and agreements to do business. Orders placed on the BOA will be stand alone binding contracts. The estimated capacity of this BOA is $240M over the three year ordering period.
A.5 System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors must be registered in SAM to receive a
BOA. The SAM website is http://www.sam.gov.
