Cloud Hosting RFI

FEMA is seeking reseller services through a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide access to multiple FedRAMP certified, true on-demand Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) offering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency intends to utilize this BPA to support its Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) DevOps information technology systems development model. The procurement is strictly limited to reseller services providing administrative access and payment mechanisms for cloud services, with development, migration, and managed service provider services explicitly excluded from consideration. While specific evaluation criteria have not been detailed in the pre-solicitation materials, the focus appears to be on the reseller's ability to provide unfettered access to multiple certified cloud providers and assist with service outages or issues. The Request for Information was posted on September 21, 2025, with a due date of October 20, 2025, indicating this is currently in the pre-solicitation phase gathering market information prior to formal solicitation.

This pre-solicitation notice contains no set-aside designations for small businesses or other protected categories. No incumbent contractors or potential awardees are identified in the pre-solicitation materials, and no specific award values or budget ranges have been disclosed at this stage. FEMA's existing cloud infrastructure is currently approximately 95 percent deployed in AWS, establishing the baseline for required services; however, the BPA structure is designed to accommodate additional FedRAMP certified cloud service providers as they become available. The procurement timeline, budget details, and specific contract performance metrics are expected to be revealed in the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) that will follow this information-gathering phase. Interested vendors should monitor for the full solicitation announcement and prepare technical and pricing responses addressing reseller capabilities and access to major cloud platforms.
