Cloud Based Services

The National Ground Intelligence Agency has a new FY17 requirement to support the U.S. Army Intelligence
Community using cloud based technology services as provided on the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE) to enable compute, storage, processing, analysis, and sharing of intelligence information with the other members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) is critical to the intelligence infrastructure at NGIC; C2S is a private commercial cloud for the IC, based on Amazon'scloud solution called Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Director of National Intelligence directed (memorandum ES 2014-0057) all IC elements to "transition from legacy applications and systems and data housing and storage services to the IC Cloud and plan to program resources to prepare data for ingestion in accordance with IC ITE standards." This memorandum lists C2S as the mechanism for IC elements to connect to the IC Cloud. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is the executive agent for the C2S program/contract. The CIA has established the C2S IDIQ contract(2013-130131000003) to allow all IC elements to issue Task Orders in order to connect to  the IC Cloud. This will be a 12 month task order against the C2S contract.
