REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) -- NAVY COMMERCIAL CLOUD SERVICES

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), supporting the Navy's Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems, issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Navy Commercial Cloud Services" to gather industry feedback on a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). Due to technical issues with the original RFI posted as a "Special Notice" on SPAWAR's E-Commerce Central portal, a duplicate RFI was created as a "Market Survey" to enable submission of responses. Industry participants are asked to provide general comments on the PWS, assess their capabilities to meet the PWS requirements, evaluate risks, and comment on the government's tentative acquisition strategy, including potential use of the Federal Supply Schedule to issue either a single award Blanket Purchase Agreement or an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract. Responses are due by 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on December 7, 2017, with the due date unchanged despite the duplicate posting. This RFI serves as market research to refine the acquisition approach for Navy commercial cloud services, focusing on the industry's readiness to comply with an accelerated government acquisition timeline. The solicitation process is managed by the Naval Information Warfare Systems office located in San Diego, CA. Interested parties are directed to submit responses under the "Market Survey" announcement entitled “Request for Information (RFI) -- Navy Commercial Cloud Services” to ensure acceptance through the electronic portal. Additional details and documents pertinent to the RFI are provided through the official government contracting platform.
