DOE requests stakeholder input on quantum and classical HPC testbed initiatives
**Buyer:** Department of Energy
**Posted:** November 12, 2026
**Respond By:** December 17, 2026
**Identifier:** 892431-27-RFI-0001
**NAICS:** 541715
DOE is gathering stakeholder input to guide planning for two quantum-computing testbed initiatives.
- **Notice type:** Request for Information (RFI) for planning and market research; it is not a solicitation or award.
- **Initiatives:** A cryogenic testbed for developing and testing quantum technologies and classical logic, and a progressively scalable testbed that integrates quantum computing and technologies with classical high-performance computing (HPC).
- **Input sought:** Feedback from industry, researchers, potential users, vendors, and other stakeholders on capabilities and partnerships, including technologies that could support integrated quantum computing and HPC and progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.
- **Procurement details:** No specific products, services, quantities, vendors, budget, or contract period are identified.
### Description
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on its Request for Information regarding national needs for two interconnected testbed initiatives: (1) A cryogenic testbed for developing, testing, and advancing quantum technologies and classical logic, and (2) A testbed for integrating quantum computing and quantum technologies with classical high-performance computing (HPC) assets that are progressively scalable.
This RFI solicits feedback from industry, research entities, and other stakeholders to guide DOE’s strategic planning for a DOE testbed that can support development of both classical and quantum technologies, including development of integrated quantum computing and HPC technologies for fault-tolerant quantum computing. DOE seeks input from potentially interested users and vendors.
