About this opportunity
The National Archives and Records Administration has awarded a sole-source task order to Amazon Web Services under the AWS Commercial Cloud Enterprise (C2E) IDIQ contract 2021-20101900401 for enterprise cloud hosting services on September 1, 2026.
NARA justifies the exception to fair opportunity under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) on the basis that over 10 years, the agency has built and currently operates more than 20 mission-critical systems deeply integrated with more than 130 unique AWS-specific services. The agency asserts that migration to competing cloud providers (Azure or Google) is neither technically nor financially feasible, requiring complete architectural refactoring, an estimated 10-year data migration period for 30+ petabytes of data, and approximately $100 million in duplicative operational costs. NARA's strategic roadmap requires expansion into classified cloud enclaves where AWS is the unique provider capable of offering complete architectural and operational parity across all security echelons, including Secret and Top Secret environments.
The task order covers Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service offerings, along with AWS Professional Services for planning, design, development, provisioning, cost optimization, and implementation. Period of performance is 12 months with nine 12-month options, totaling 10 years. Pricing is based on consolidated, tiered discounts negotiated at the IDIQ level, with NARA qualifying for the highest available discount tier. The justification received concurrence from the Contracting Officer, General Counsel, Competition Advocate, and NARA Head of Procuring Activity.
