About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document containing 5 questions and government responses related to cloud services requirements for solicitation 47QFLA24R0013 (GREAT Support). The questions primarily focus on clarifying requirements around Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) for the Air Force Cyberspace Technical Center of Excellence (CyTCoE) and Hangar 18 components.
Key clarifications include: the specified CSP is government-owned and expertise with it is required, though experience with other DISA and NSA-accredited CSPs will be considered. The CyTCoE work is currently hosted on the specified CSP, and while additional government-owned CSPs may be used in the future, the GREAT contract will not include procurement of cloud services but rather will utilize existing USG-owned clouds. The government's current repository is hosted on ARKLOUD, and alternate repositories would be considered if they meet or exceed current requirements at reasonable cost.
