High-Performance Space Computing (HPSC) (Pre-RFI Market Research)

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is conducting a pre‑RFI market research to identify qualified small businesses or small‑business joint ventures capable of developing and integrating high‑performance space computing (HPSC) and avionics systems. The effort focuses on capabilities such as HPSC‑based processors and single‑board computers, SOSA S3C/SpaceVPX architectures, plug‑in cards, chassis, high‑speed networking, power and data handling, flight software, test environments, and the transition of prototypes to flight‑qualified hardware. Interested firms must submit a completed questionnaire, capability statement, and past‑performance examples via email. JPL will host three webinars (Sept 8‑10, 2026) to answer questions. This solicitation is a market‑research activity; no contract award, deadline, or funding amount is disclosed at this stage. • Target audience: U.S. small businesses or SBA‑approved joint ventures. • Required expertise: high‑performance processors, SBCs, SpaceVPX, high‑speed data interfaces, flight software, test labs, hardware‑software integration, and flight‑qualifier transition. • Submission method: email to the JPL Small Business Programs Office with “High Performance Space Computing (HPSC) Capabilities” in the subject line. • Supporting events: three live webinars (Sept 8, 9, 10 2026). • NAICS code indicated: 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing).
