About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is conducting market research to identify industry capabilities for a comprehensive cloud computing platform with customizable virtual machine instances and serverless computing solutions. The Request for Information (RFI) seeks a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) cloud service solution that provides globally distributed data centers, high-speed data transfer, and low-latency connections. Specific technical requirements include FedRAMP High accreditation for CONUS operations, FedRAMP Moderate for OCONUS, DoD Impact Level 5 certification, and FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive enterprise cloud services with on-demand self-service, security controls supporting Top Secret information, and capabilities including AI/ML functionalities, developer tools, and data analytics. Key submission deadlines include questions due by January 31, 2025, and full responses due by February 7, 2025 at 3:00 PM ET, with vendors required to provide detailed information about their technical capabilities and past federal agency performance.
The opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business category and is open to all business sizes within the NAICS 541519 category for Other Computer Related Services, with size standards of $34.0M or 150 employees. No incumbent contractor is mentioned, and while specific award values are not explicitly stated, the RFI indicates a comprehensive cloud computing platform procurement. The solution must include at least 120 machine learning models, IoT functionality using MQTT protocols, and petabyte-scale data warehousing capabilities. Vendors must own 100% of their fiber optic cable network connecting datacenters and cannot have datacenters operating in mainland China. Additional mandatory submission requirements include a Secure Software Development Attestation Form and a Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Questionnaire, emphasizing the government's focus on robust security and technological capabilities in this procurement effort.
