The attached Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 6.103 justification supports the anticipated non-competitively awarded IDIQ vehicles. The justification was prepared in accordance with RFO Subpart 6.104 and is posted in accordanced with RFO Subpart 6.301, specifically, 6.301(b)(2). Cumulus awards have not been made yet, award date referenced within this notice is an estimate.

Included within the scope of this effort titled Cumulus, are commercially available Anything as a Service (XaaS) covering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), professional services, marketplace solutions, and training services.

Cumulus requirements will not just offer increased efficiency and effectiveness in CSP solution procurement but is also anticipated to deliver strategic level value to the Department. This includes increased oversight and understanding of CSP solutions being procured across the Department and how they may be collaboratively leveraged from both a mission delivery and spend perspective. Strategic level value will be recognized, for example, through economies of scale resulting in significant discounts and through increased cloud procurement and delivery consistency Department-wide.
