Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., delivers unclassified and classified cloud infrastructure, platform, and software solutions across multiple security domains to the Department of Defense, civilian agencies, and intelligence communities as a prime contractor on major federal indefinite delivery vehicles, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

AWS operates as a prime on 389 awards (55% of recent activity) and as a subcontractor on 313 awards (45%), anchored by the $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Defense Information Systems Agency in December 2022. JWCC, which provides unclassified and classified cloud services across multiple security domains (IL2 through IL6) to support Department of Defense mission-critical requirements, represents the company's primary vehicle: 79 task orders totaling $3.38 billion in combined potential value flow through JWCC. AWS also holds a $723.9 million Naval Information Warfare Systems Command Blanket Purchase Agreement (through December 31, 2027) delivering cloud infrastructure, platform, and software solutions to the Department of the Navy and related defense agencies, and a $50 million Space and Missile Systems Center Blanket Purchase Agreement for Space Launch Cloud Services (NEBULA, through August 31, 2028). On the civilian side, AWS maintains placement on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, from which 123 task orders carry $1.75 billion in combined potential value. Most recently, on December 29, 2025, the Missile Defense Agency awarded AWS a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ titled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, establishing a comprehensive contracting vehicle to support multi-domain defense objectives across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains.

Customer concentration sits with defense agencies. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 88% of combined potential value: the Defense Information Systems Agency (29 awards, $18.12 billion), the Department of Justice Justice Management Division (34 awards, $1.69 billion), the Department of the Air Force (23 awards, $1.55 billion), the Office of the Secretary of Defense (12 awards, $1.12 billion), and the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (29 awards, $1.01 billion). By award count, the Department of the Army leads with 87 awards, followed by the Department of Justice Justice Management Division (34 awards) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (31 awards), though Army awards carry minimal potential value. This divergence reflects AWS's role as a commodity cloud provider for large volumes of small administrative orders alongside strategic, high-dollar task orders anchoring defense modernization and cloud consolidation programs.

Representative work spans the full customer portfolio. On JWCC, AWS delivered a $489 million delivery order to the Air Force in January 2026 for unclassified and classified cloud service offerings and enterprise support for the USAF Cloud One Office; a $846.1 million delivery order to the Office of the Secretary of Defense in September 2025 (ADVANA) for classified cloud compute and storage services; and a $458.5 million delivery order to the same office in November 2024 for AWS SECRET IL 4, 5, and 6 cloud compute and storage services supporting the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency. For civilian agencies, AWS received a $30.7 million purchase order from the National Nuclear Security Administration in January 2026 for the AWS GENESIS Demonstrator project, a $7.1 million delivery order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in April 2026 under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for critical IT modernization supporting the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, and a $18.8 million BPA call from the Drug Enforcement Administration in June 2026 for unclassified cloud services. Air Force and Missile Defense Agency delivery orders under JWCC include specialized workloads: AWS delivered a $72.3 million order from Air Education and Training Command in December 2025 for cloud storage solutions (object, block, and file storage) supporting the USAF, and a $4.43 million order from the Missile Defense Agency in April 2025 for transition of IL5 and IL6 cloud infrastructure.

Activity trajectory shows growth through 2024 followed by moderation. Awards per year climbed from 38 in 2022 to 145 in 2023 and 172 in 2024, then declined to 113 in 2025 and 32 in the first half of 2026 (a partial-year count). Combined potential value across all 702 awards (prime and sub) totals $26.82 billion, with $1.64 billion obligated to date (6% of potential). Sixty-five awards carrying $1.45 billion in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting substantial recompete exposure.

On the subcontractor side, AWS primarily subcontracts cloud infrastructure and platform services to major systems integrators, notably General Dynamics Information Technology (cloud products and tools, managed application and infrastructure services, enterprise cloud support), BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (U.S. Marshals Service AWS CloudNet services), Leidos (MHS GENESIS, travelers processing, GMS operations), Booz Allen Hamilton (engineering development integration and technology-based solutions, professional services), Lockheed Martin (atmospheric image assembly, 3D Earth observation digital twin), and Accenture Federal Services (cloud gateway, S-FENCES connectivity). AWS also subcontracts to applied research organizations such as Applied Research Associates, SAIC, and SRI International for research and development programs requiring cloud infrastructure. These relationships position AWS as a foundational cloud platform provider feeding large prime integrators' delivery of enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity operations, and advanced research capabilities.

Service Contract Inventory-reported data on prime contracts shows $16.4 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (a strict subset covering federal service contracts above $150,000 and excluding goods, classified work, and non-federal revenue). FY2024 delivered $14.2 million across 5.0 full-time equivalents; FY2023 delivered $2.2 million across 3.1 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $344/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $1,630/hr and entry-level roles at approximately $317/hr. AWS maintains a single active GSA Schedule labor category (AWSProServe, Aggregated) priced at $395.53/hr for bachelor's-level roles with one year of experience and no security clearance requirement. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, AWS performed 100% of contractor hours internally, carrying no sub-engagement on these particular awards.

AWS competes in unclassified and classified cloud infrastructure procurement on a full-and-open basis across defense and civilian agencies, anchoring its federal footprint on established IDV and BPA vehicles rather than on set-aside programs. The company's market position rests on authorized classified cloud delivery across multiple impact levels, proven scalability and reliability supporting mission-critical defense systems, and a direct federal customer base spanning DISA, DoD service branches, civilian agencies, and intelligence organizations. AWS operates as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., structured to serve the federal government as a distinct business unit with dedicated compliance, security, and contracting infrastructure.
