Please quote a managed computing platform for CAPE’s defense simulations, government-developed models, and data analysis.

  • Performance: Offer computing options for 1,200 simulations within 10 hours through 150,000 simulations within two weeks.
  • Models: Load simulation results, run government-developed models, and support adding and removing software as needs change.
  • Analysis: Provide ready-made analysis methods, custom analysis tools, and visual displays of results.
  • Connections: Support secure data transfers, network speeds of 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, and HTTPS connections to approved outside data sources.
  • Government control: Give the government exclusive control over user access, permissions, data loading, model uploads, software containers, and analysis runs.
  • Operations: Manage hardware availability, operating system updates, network performance, automatic backups, and basic cybersecurity protections.

Please confirm availability and send your quote by November 12, 2026.

What they need

  • Three-layer scopeSolution must combine a simulation execution layer, a layer to host government-built machine-learned surrogate models, and a self-service analysis and visualization layer.
  • Simulation capacityRun about 1,200 simulations within 10 hours (light case) up to 150,000 simulations within 2 weeks (heavy case).
  • Current baselineExisting setup has 1.5 TB memory and 2,000 CPU cores; each AFSIM run takes about 1 hour and 20 GB of RAM.
  • Network and dataMust support 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps throughput and HTTPS connections to approved external sources such as the War Data Platform.
  • Software supportMust support Python, R, Java, containers, GAMS, PyTorch, and large language models, with easy onboarding and removal of software and models.
  • Security and controlGovernment keeps full tenant administration, including user access, role-based permissions, data ingestion, and model uploads, under applicable security and access controls.
