This contract will provide a life-of-type buy of 950 Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) re-balled Intel Xeon D-1559 (P/N 41040282-LMC-7672-67) to for use on the X-ES XPedite7672-67 3U VPX Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) card supporting the IRST Block II Processor Weapons Replacement Assembly (WRA).
