About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) published this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for artificial intelligence solutions supporting cybersecurity and enhanced network defense for Defensive Cyber Operations through their ASCEND platform. The contract HC105023D0005 was awarded to Amazon Web Services (AWS) on September 23, 2025, for cloud computing resources to deploy and operate a Generative AI platform under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract. The sole source justification is based on AWS being the only Cloud Service Provider capable of meeting the government's specialized Impact Level 6 (IL6) cloud security requirements and seamlessly integrating with the existing ASCEND cloud environment. Market research conducted in July 2025 determined that other major cloud providers including Microsoft, Oracle, and Google lacked the native interoperability, sufficient service authorizations, or equivalent functionality needed for this classified mission. The contract includes a base period of one year with two additional one-year option periods for a total potential performance period of three years, though the specific award amount was not disclosed in the available documentation.
