Intent to Sole Source for Resilient Computing

Montana State University is preparing to award a sole‑source contract to Resilient Computing for the design and development of prototype computing hardware that can tolerate radiation and resist malware threats. The effort includes engineering services for hardware design, PCB and FPGA development, integration of specialized technologies, and requires access to MSU‑patented intellectual property. Vendors who believe they can meet all six technical requirements may submit a detailed written response. • Design and develop multiple prototype computing hardware units with radiation‑tolerant and malware‑resilient capabilities. • Create printed circuit boards (PCBs) and field‑programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as part of the hardware prototypes. • Provide engineering analysis, design, and planning services, leveraging MSU’s patented technologies and unrestricted IP access. • Submit a comprehensive capability statement via the eMACS Q&A board by the September 2, 2026 deadline. • Payment terms are Net 30 with no advance payments indicated.
