About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded contract HR001126FE076 on July 29, 2026, under a class exception to fair opportunity for cloud services to be delivered by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Google Cloud Platform under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) multi-award IDIQ vehicle.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), based on the unique and highly specialized nature of the services and substantial costs and operational delays that would result from migrating existing workloads to alternative providers. DARPA's Contracts Management Office is procuring high-performance computing environments, cloud-native application hosting, serverless architectures, machine learning and artificial intelligence platforms, advanced analytics, cybersecurity-compliant environments, specialized database architectures, and hybrid cloud solutions to support research programs in AI/ML, cyber operations, microelectronics, autonomy, space technologies, biotechnology, and national security applications. AWS is identified as uniquely capable for established serverless architectures and GovCloud environments with existing Authority to Operate approvals; Microsoft Azure for integration with Department of War enterprise identity management and hybrid cloud solutions; Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Oracle Real Application Clusters and Exadata-based environments for high-volume relational database operations; and Google Cloud Platform for Tensor Processing Unit capabilities and BigQuery analytics. All task orders utilize Firm-Fixed-Price pricing established under the competitively awarded JWCC IDIQ contract. DARPA commits to promoting future competition through data portability requirements, open standards adoption, and full Government data ownership.
