AI Contract Overview
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued this Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 852675027 to conduct market research for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability Unified Cloud Marketplace (UCM). The objective is to assess vendor capabilities to provide a comprehensive procurement solution for DISA Provisionally Authorized (PA) Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs). The UCM is designed as a tiered ecosystem consisting of hyperscalers, Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) providers, and commercial innovators or small businesses. The government seeks partners capable of managing the CSO catalog, translating high-level mission requirements into validated bill of materials and SKU lists, and ensuring all end-user license agreements comply with federal and Department of Defense legal and security requirements. This is a planning effort and not a formal solicitation; therefore, no contract will be awarded based on these responses, and the government will not provide compensation for submitted information. Interested parties must submit a mandatory CSO Matrix and Questionnaire via Excel, detailing their authorized reseller status and market capabilities, with an optional one-page narrative. Responses must be emailed to the designated points of contact by the final deadline of September 1, 2026, though early submission by August 10, 2026, is encouraged. The RFI emphasizes the importance of socioeconomic strategies, specifically requesting that large businesses describe their approach to utilizing small business channel partners and subcontractors.

Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) Next, now known as JWCC Unified Cloud Marketplace (UCM), will function as a single, unified solution that supports the consumption of all provisionally authorized (PA) cloud service offerings (CSOs) from approved cloud service providers (CSPs)—not limited to the current hyperscalers. To achieve this efficiently while preserving security, compliance, and operational integrity, the solution will be structured as follows:
-
Tier 1 – Hyperscalers: Core infrastructure and platform services from established large-scale CSPs.
-
Tier 2 – Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS): Includes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and non-hyperscale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
-
Tier 3 – Commercial Innovators & Small Businesses: Innovative, agile, and non-traditional cloud offerings from emerging providers and small businesses that meet PA standards.
This approach will create a comprehensive marketplace that promotes competition, accelerates access to cutting-edge capabilities, and ensures qualified industry partners can participate equitably.
