The Navy is seeking input on potential performance based support strategies for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components of the Advanced Processing Systems (APS) that meet the requirements listed below. For purposes of this request only, the Navy is contemplating acquiring x86 information processing parts to support multiple AN/SPY-6(V) test and production systems.
