Procurement playbook
Get reserved B300 capacity without another waitlist
A procurement playbook for pinning a SKU, a date, and a counterparty — instead of a Discord queue.
Last spring a VP of infrastructure sent the same RFP to four neoclouds. Three replied with a waitlist. The fourth sent a forecast form and went silent for six weeks. The training run still had a board date. The failure was not “GPUs are scarce.” It was that nobody would reserve a named SKU against a calendar. This site is the how-to for that conversation — then it hands you to Pacific reserved GPU capacity when you are ready to transact.
Write the RFP so “reserved” is a defined term
If the response can be “join the list,” the document did not ask a procurement question. Reserved has to mean a named architecture (HGX B300 is the SKU language most teams now use), a delivery window, and an acceptance gate someone will witness. Ask who holds the inventory, what happens if the window slips, and what evidence you get at handoff. Pacific publishes that language on the reserved capacity page — use it as the mothership spec, not as a second brochure copied here.
Plan capacity like a calendar, not a hope
Finance will not sign a hope. Build the plan as dates: when the run starts, when the cluster must pass a fabric check, when you need a spare node. If the permanent hall is late, you need a parallel path — not a longer forecast. That is what bridge capacity for delayed data centers is for: a module on a prepared pad while the building stays on its own schedule.
Hand the commercial conversation to the mothership
This satellite does not quote prices, clone product trees, or invent lead times. When the RFP is written and the calendar is real, book a 30-minute call with Harper or open the reserved-capacity page. Terms stay private. The job of this site is to get procurement unstuck.
