Summary
This amendment to a request for information (RFI) issued by the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate, specifically the Enterprise Research and Engineering Division, is dated August 1, 2024.
It updates the submission instructions for responses to the RFI concerning quantum solutions, correcting the due date for submissions to August 26, 2024, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The RFI aims to gather information on near-term applications of quantum computing technologies that can be leveraged for defense purposes, with a focus on identifying U.S. industry capabilities that could enhance Department of Defense (DoD) operations.
The document outlines specific areas of interest for potential applications of quantum computing, including:
- Quantum machine learning
- Materials design
- Quantum chemistry simulation
- Optimization problem-solving
It emphasizes the importance of these technologies in addressing computational challenges faced by the DoD over the next five years. Respondents are encouraged to provide detailed descriptions of their proposed applications, including hypotheses, potential impacts on DoD operations, performance metrics compared to classical methods, and any prior work relevant to their proposals. Additionally, they are asked to include workflow diagrams and estimates regarding required resources and timelines for data generation.
The amendment also reiterates submission guidelines and requirements for interested parties, which include private companies, universities, and research institutions. Responses must be unclassified and can contain proprietary information if appropriately marked. This RFI is intended solely for information gathering and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment from the government to enter into contracts based on the responses received.
