## Description

The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) has a requirement to procure Red Hat OpenShift AI software license to provide an enterprise-ready artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) platform within NGA's exisiting Red Hat OpenShift environment. The pilot program using Red Hat OpenShift AI is a commercial software product that integrates with OpenShift to enable the development, training, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of AI/ML models and data science workloads in a secure, scalable, and containerized environment.

Since the requirement is for a specific proprietary commercial product that must integate with the Government's existing Red Hat OpenShift environment, the Government coordinated with the manufacturer, Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat does not sell directly to the Government, however, Red Hat identified Flywheel Data, LLC as the only authorized reseller/partner capable of providing the required Red Hat OpenShift AI subscriptions and associated support.
