About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal intends to award a sole-source task order to Carahsoft Technology Corp. under GSA Schedule 47QSWA18D008F for Datadog Information Technology training and implementation support on behalf of the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency, with a 12-month period of performance.
The requirement comprises five interactive guided session sets containing 50 total individual sessions covering setup and configuration, deployment support, implementation strategy advisory, best practices guidance, and development of custom solutions including automation workflows, integration strategies, and scaling methodologies tailored to ECMA's environment. Market research conducted from March 12 to May 13, 2026 conclusively identified Carahsoft as the sole source capable of meeting the requirement. The research included an RFI to 28 CHESS vendors (23 submitted no-bid responses; 5 did not respond) and an RFI to nine GSA MAS vendors. Other vendors were disqualified due to lack of official Datadog partnership authorization, inability to provide integrated implementation services, and unacceptable lead times of 60–90 days. The justification cites OEM control by Datadog over authorized training delivery and the requirement for OEM-certified engineers to mitigate unacceptable technical risk associated with unauthorized instructors for training on critical cloud infrastructure monitoring systems. The task order is awarded as firm-fixed-price under the Cloud and Cloud-Related IT Professional Services special item number 518210C, using Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Army funds.
