About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency has awarded a sole-source task order (HC105023D0005) to Amazon Web Services, Inc. under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract on September 28, 2026, for commercial cloud services supporting NORAD and USNORTHCOM.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), an exception to fair opportunity, based on AWS's unique qualifications. Market research dated February 2026 confirmed that among four JWCC Cloud Service Providers, only AWS could meet mission performance requirements. The contractor holds dedicated AWS Direct Connect/Mission Networking connectivity exclusively for NORAD and USNORTHCOM users accessing the Maven Smart System, operates native AWS cloud security services (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Inspector), and supports the NORAD and USNORTHCOM data science team's demonstrated expertise with Amazon SageMaker.
The task order establishes a multi-classification cloud environment operating at Impact Levels 4/5 and IL6, including a cloud-based Cybersecurity Service Provider capability, an AI/ML development platform using Amazon SageMaker, a scalable Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance video ingestion service, a cross-domain solution for secure data transfer between classification levels, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure leveraging existing enterprise licensing agreements. Initial operational capability is required within six months of award. The period of performance is one year with one optional one-year period. Amendment 01 increased the estimated value to account for additional Pro-Serve units required for establishing unclassified and classified environments. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through comparison to the independent government cost estimate and JWCC Catalog pricing.
