The Defense Information Systems Agency intends to award a sole-source task order under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) multiple award contract to Amazon Web Services, Inc. for cloud infrastructure supporting the Tactical Analysis Planning System (TAPS) operated by the Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS), on a sole-source basis.

The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), emphasizing that AWS is the only cloud service provider capable of fulfilling the requirement without unacceptable mission failure risks. TAPS is natively engineered exclusively within the AWS ecosystem and relies on proprietary AWS-managed services, including Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Amazon EC2 Dedicated Instances. Market research conducted April-May 2026 solicited responses from four JWCC prime contractors; only AWS and Google responded, and Google's timeline was deemed unacceptable. The contracting officer determined that competing this requirement or transitioning to a different cloud service provider would trigger a 3-to-4-month delay and substantial duplicative engineering costs, during which mission-critical counter-illicit trafficking and counternarcotics operational capabilities would be at risk. The requirement includes computing specifications of 12 CPUs, 64 GB RAM, and 400 GB disk for production, plus test environments and two Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers for database support. Period of performance is one 1-year base period plus one 1-year option period, with funding from Operations & Maintenance accounts. Place of performance is Key West, Florida (JIATFS) with contracting oversight at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois (DISA DITCO). Price fairness will be determined by comparing the contractor's proposal to the independent government cost estimate and JWCC catalog pricing. Award date: June 29, 2026.
