Department of Commerce (DOC) Cloud Services Provider Vehicle Strategy

The Department of Commerce is announcing a long-term procurement strategy for a 10-year Cloud Vehicle Blanket Purchase Agreement with an estimated value of $4.105 billion, designed to deliver native hyperscale cloud services across the department. The strategy is centered on a Direct-to-CSP approach, restricting participation to Original Equipment Manufacturers acting as Cloud Service Providers due to the highly specialized technical demands, including support for 25,000+ concurrent vCPUs, proprietary global backbones exceeding 100 Tbps, and specialized hardware configurations required for AI/ML workloads and weather modeling. This approach ensures direct engineering support and alignment with mission-critical capabilities. The procurement will be conducted through GSA eBuy under GSAR Subpart 538.71, and only contractors holding a GSA Multiple Award Schedule under SIN 518210C are eligible to participate. This notice serves solely as an informational announcement to provide transparency about the department’s cloud acquisition roadmap and does not solicit quotes, proposals, or feedback. The contracting officer for this initiative is Eric Olmstead, with Meredith Eaton designated as a secondary point of contact. The strategy is not subject to any set-aside requirements and is aligned with the NAICS code 518210 for cloud computing services.
