New Building IT Design and Build

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued this combined Sources Sought and Request for Information under solicitation number 49100426K0003 for the design and build of IT infrastructure for a new building. The agency aims to reduce the scope of its on-premises enterprise IT infrastructure while integrating Building Automation Systems, IT Asset Management, and Configuration Management Database tools to ensure visibility across all NSF-operated computer spaces. The existing topography includes a co-location data center in Ashburn, Virginia, and an enhanced communication equipment room at the NSF headquarters, supported by an Amazon Web Services Direct Connect environment.

Performance is located in Alexandria, Virginia, and is classified under NAICS 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services. The notice specifies no set-aside designation. Four attachments were published on March 12, 2026, to provide additional context: a design and build SS-RFI document, a draft Performance Work Statement for network design and cabling, a problem statement questionnaire, and a tentative schedule.

The response deadline for this market research effort is March 26, 2026. Kristina Price serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement. The project involves synthesizing current multi-cloud environments with physical infrastructure components to streamline agency IT operations.
