JWCC UCM Industry Query on XaaS

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking industry information to develop a new contract vehicle, the Unified Cloud Marketplace (UCM). This initiative builds on the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract to streamline the procurement of Anything as a Service (XaaS) offerings, including Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and non-hyperscale Infrastructure as a Service. DISA aims to gather market intelligence on various cloud capabilities and procurement pathways, simplifying enterprise-wide access to commercial cloud services. The agency emphasizes compliance with Department of War and federal security requirements, particularly concerning the lifecycle and management of security authorizations like DISA Provisional Authorizations and FedRAMP across complex vendor-reseller supply chains. Interested parties must complete an Excel questionnaire and can submit additional information (up to 5 pages) via email by June 4, 2026. This Industry Query is for planning purposes only and is not a request for proposals or a commitment to award a contract.

The document outlines a comprehensive request for information (RFI) from potential contractors, focusing on their capabilities and offerings related to cloud services for the government. It covers key areas such as company identification (name, UEI, CAGE code, small business status, primary email, and business type—OEM, Distributor, Reseller, VAR), market delivery strategies (direct sales, use of VARs/Resellers, willingness to establish a contract vehicle, and operational/legal responsibility for service performance), and delineation of responsibilities for Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance. The RFI also probes pricing models (public/commercial rates, negotiated offers, enterprise discount programs, and tiered volume discounts) and support services (professional, migration, and consultation services). Finally, it requests the names of the Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs) intended for sale to the government. This structured inquiry aims to gather essential information for evaluating potential providers and their cloud service solutions.
