About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the Marine Corps Red Team (MCRT) Cloud Infrastructure contract, which was awarded to Amazon Web Services (AWS) on June 20, 2025. The contract provides specialized cloud infrastructure services to support the Marine Corps' cyber red team operations, enabling them to emulate adversarial cyber tactics for security assessments and conduct offensive network operations. The justification for sole-source procurement emphasizes AWS GovCloud's unique capabilities, including its isolated U.S.-based region with enhanced security certifications and the extensive existing infrastructure of over 180 cloud machines and 40 domain registrations already established on the platform. The MCRT requires specific operational capabilities including non-attribution, operational flexibility, and enhanced security for conducting critical cyber vulnerability assessments for the U.S. Marine Corps and Department of Defense. The contract includes a 1-year base period plus one 1-year option period, though the specific contract value was not disclosed in the notice. The agency argued that switching cloud providers would require complex re-engineering and could potentially compromise mission capabilities and national security.
