About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded contract HR001126FE072 to Amazon Web Services for cloud credit services on a sole-source basis, effective July 29, 2026.
DARPA justifies the sole-source action under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), citing that only AWS is capable of providing the required services at the necessary quality level. The agency's existing workloads have been developed, tested, accredited, and deployed within AWS ecosystems over multiple years and are tightly integrated with AWS-specific services, security controls, APIs, and development toolchains. Migration to alternative cloud service providers would require substantial redesign of cloud-native applications, extensive testing and validation, cybersecurity reaccreditation, and operational disruption resulting in significant cost duplication and unacceptable mission delays.
The required services include cloud computing credits, high-performance computing environments, cloud-native application hosting, serverless architectures, accredited machine learning and artificial intelligence platforms, advanced analytics capabilities, cybersecurity-compliant cloud environments, specialized database architectures, and hybrid cloud solutions. These services support DARPA programs in AI/ML, cyber operations, microelectronics, autonomy, space technologies, biotechnology, national security applications, modeling and simulation, and large-scale data analytics.
All task orders will be issued as Firm-Fixed-Price using pricing established under AWS's competitively awarded GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. The total estimated value for all task orders is subject to a capped amount. DARPA commits to promoting future competition through data portability requirements, open standards usage, and periodic market research reassessment.
