Presolicitation, Industry Day and Facility Site Visit Announcement – High Performance Modernization Computing Program – Unrestricted (HITS-UIII) (3), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, High Performance Modernization Computing Program. 1. General Information The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center is hosting a hybrid Industry Day for the upcoming HITS-UIII requirement. The purpose of this event is to provide industry partners with a better understanding of the Government's objectives, promote competition, and facilitate market research. A facility site visit will be conducted in conjunction with this event. HITS-UIII is a continuation of contracted support covering the DoW Science and Technology, Research and Development, Test and Evaluation communities, all of which access the DoW High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Supercomputer systems. These systems support the Defense Research and Engineering Network/Secure Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN/SDREN) both classified and unclassified. The mission of HPCMP is to accelerate technology development and transition to superior defense capabilities, to provide DoD's scientists and engineers with the resources necessary to solve the most demanding warfighter problems through the strategic application of high-performance computing, networking, and computational expertise. The Program operates five (5) DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) with associated Local Area Networks (LANs) / Wide Area Networks (WANs) and develops High Performance Computing (HPC) software applications and support environments. This procurement will support four (4) of those DSRCs. This announcement also provides notification of a new proposed contract action as required by FAR 5.201 and to provide notice of an industry day/site visit in support of this procurement. The HITS-UIII procurement is planned to be awarded as an Indefinite-Delivery-
