Army Enterprise Information Technology as a Service

The Army Enterprise Information Technology as a Service (EITaaS) base award, solicitation W15QKN-19-R-06JL, is an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) managed by the Department of Defense and Army Contracting Command New Jersey. The program aims to transition the Army from a government-owned and operated IT model to a commercial service-based model. This effort focuses on three primary Lines of Effort: Network as a Service (NaaS), End User Services (EUS), and Compute and Store (C&S). The goal is to modernize the DODIN-A infrastructure by implementing commercial solutions for data transport, end-user devices, and cloud services across various pilot sites, including Army Futures Command, Fort Polk, Camp Roberts, and Fort Benning. The project is structured across five phases: Assessment, Plan and Prepare, Implement, Operate, and Transition Out. Key requirements include strict adherence to cybersecurity compliance, the use of Government approved encryption such as Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) for SIPRNet services, and meeting specific performance metrics for availability, resiliency, and security. Contractors must maintain a Secret level facility security clearance and ensure personnel meet mandatory background investigation and cybersecurity workforce certification standards. The procurement process utilized a multi-part proposal system evaluating technical approach, demonstrated performance records, and a firm fixed price matrix.
