AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Defense, through DISA PL8, is issuing a Request for Information to evaluate vendor capabilities in delivering the full catalog of Provisionally Authorized Cloud Service Offerings under the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability Unified Cloud Marketplace, formerly known as JWCC Next.

All responses must be submitted by September 1, 2026, with early submission by August 10, 2026, strongly encouraged to support timely market analysis. The marketplace will be structured into three tiers: Tier 1 includes core infrastructure and platform services from established hyperscalers; Tier 2 encompasses Everything-as-a-Service offerings such as SaaS, PaaS, and non-hyperscale IaaS; and Tier 3 is reserved for innovative commercial providers and small businesses that meet provisional authorization criteria.

Full Description
This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued to assess the breadth of vendor capability to provide the full catalog of DISA PA'd CSOs, and to understand industry's ability to translate high-level mission requirements into orderable solutions. All interested parties are directed to the attached RFI document and CSO Coverage Matrix for detailed instructions.
To assist the Government with timely market research analysis, respondents are highly encouraged to submit their responses by August 10, 2026. However, the RFI will remain open, and all responses received no later than the final deadline of September 1, 2026, will be accepted and considered.
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.
