- Description
- The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded a FFP contract for High-Performance Computing Supercomputer to the University of Illinois. The acquisition is supported by the attached justification. As stated in FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii), full and open competition need not be provided for when it is necessary to award the contract to a particular source or sources �in order to establish or maintain an essential engineering, research, or development capability to be provided by an educational or other nonprofit institution or a federally funded research and development center.� Furthermore, as set forth in FAR 6.302-3(b)(2)(iii), the use of this authority may be appropriate when it is necessary to �contract for supplies or services as are necessary incident to paragraph (b)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section.� Additionally, per the 2025-NGA-OCCL-9043 memo, �NGA�s Source Directorate plans to establish a sole-source contract directly with the University of Illinois to purchase the computer, support follow-on operations, and allow the use of the supercomputer for research, development, test and evaluation from other NGA and outside organizations.� This memo details the congressional intent when funds were provided to NGA for the purchase of a �supercomputer� that would be managed by the University of Illinois. Total value of award: $25,790,521.00 Period of Performance: 5/26/2025 - 10/31/2031
