- Description
- Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), Hurlburt Field, FL is seeking information IAW DFARS PGI 206.302-1(d) for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Professional Services through the already established Amazon Web Services Cloud. Background: AFSOC began using Amazon Web Services on a brand-name basis based on Government security approvals for available Cloud Service Providers. Once that decision was made, AFSOC invested significant resources while developing war fighter applications within the AWS infrastructure. For instance, AFSOC has developed an entire suite of applications and security services that uniquely depend on the interface provided by AWS. To move to another Cloud vendor would require significant time, funding, and resources to acquire the talent, develop the architecture, redesign software applications, and then finally develop, test, and implement a new security infrastructure. Market research has indicated that Amazon is the only capable source of fulfilling the Government's requirement for IaaS Professional Services that includes the ability to deliver software executive consulting services and writing software code for information classified up to Level 5/6, SECRET/NOFORN. Through this research, it was discovered that Amazon does not discuss activities within the SECRET data level region with other companies to include Managed Service Partners and is considered intellectual property and competition sensitive information. Amazon currently provides technology roadmaps specific to the Government's technology and is only discussed with Government personnel on a need to know basis under a Non-Disclosure Agreement. For these reasons, the Government does not believe these professional services can be fulfilled by any other source. All responses regarding this notice can be directed to thomas.sexton.4@us.af.mil
