On
April 9, the Washington Headquarters service posted a request for information
for Cloud Computing Program Office (CCPO) support services. Reponses are due by
5:00 p.m. Eastern on April 23.
Background
To maintain our military
advantage, DoD requires an extensible and secure cloud environment that spans
the homeland to the global tactical edge, as well as the ability to rapidly
access computing and storage capacity to address warfighting challenges at the
speed of relevance. These foundational infrastructure and platform technologies
are needed for DoD to capitalize on modern software, keep pace with commercial
innovation, and make use of artificial intelligence and machine learning
capabilities at scale. The Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) Cloud
is the acquisition of commercial infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and
platform as a service (PaaS) offerings to support DoD business and mission
operations. JEDI Cloud is an important first step to acquiring a general
purpose cloud capable of delivering infrastructure and platform services for
the majority of the Department’s mission. JEDI Cloud will also serve as a
pathfinder for DoD to understand how to deploy enterprise cloud at scale while
effectively accounting for security, governance, and modern architectures.
The Cloud Computing Program
Office (CCPO) has been stood up under the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief
Information Office (CIO) to act as the centralized program office for delivery of
the JEDI Cloud capability. The CCPO will
be responsible for overarching operations of the JEDI program to include:
Business Operations and Leadership Support, Engineering and Security, Strategic
Communications, User Engagement, and Program Execution.
Objectives
To accomplish the operations of the JEDI contract, the CCPO requires highly skilled services to support program operations and delivery of a modern enterprise cloud services solution, to include end user engagement and supporting migration of early adopter applications. The vendor shall support the execution of business operations and leadership support, engineering and security support, office automation and desktop support, risk management framework activities for assessment and authorization, strategic communication support, program execution support, budget and financial management.
