JWCC UCM Industry Query on XaaS

Industry Query

This document is an Industry Query (IQ) from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) seeking information from industry regarding potential acquisition strategies for a Unified Cloud Marketplace. This is NOT a Request for Proposals (RFP); no solicitation is currently available. The goal is to gather market intelligence to support the development of a new, independent contract vehicle for rapid procurement of Anything as a Service (XaaS) offerings, building on the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract.

DISA is interested in understanding market dynamics and procurement pathways for XaaS products (Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and non-hyperscale Infrastructure as a Service). The objective is to simplify the acquisition and delivery of cloud services across the enterprise.

• Hyperscale CSPs: Defined as providers with a global footprint offering high scalability, performance, throughput, redundancy, and an integrated ecosystem.
• Technical Requirements: XaaS solutions must comply with Department of War (DoW) and federal security requirements. A key focus is understanding the lifecycle, management, and accountability of security authorizations (e.g., DISA Provisional Authorizations, FedRAMP) across complex vendor-reseller supply chains.

Industry partners are requested to complete the attached Microsoft Excel spreadsheet "JWCC_XaaS_Industry_Query_Questionnaire." Additional information (max 5 pages) can be submitted, clearly referencing applicable Question IDs.

• Submission Deadline: No later than June 4, 2026.
• Submission Method: Email to disa.meade.j-9.mbx.jwcc-industry-query@mail.mil.
• Email Subject: Industry Query Response: JWCC UCM: <Company Name, Month, Year>.
• Format: Excel questionnaire and optional additional information (max 5 pages).

DISA may schedule meetings with potential partners for market research and clarification.

Submit questions in writing via email to disa.meade.j-9.mbx.jwcc-industry-query@mail.mil. Answers will be posted to SAM.gov.

This IQ is for information and planning purposes only and is not a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Responses are not proposals, and no award will be made based on this query. All submitted information becomes government property. Responders are responsible for all associated costs.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is an industry query questionnaire designed to gather information from potential vendors regarding their capabilities and offerings related to the JWCC XaaS (Everything as a Service) opportunity. It serves as a tool for the government to understand the market landscape and refine its acquisition strategy.

• Identification: Requests company name, Unique Entity ID (UEI), CAGE code, small business status, primary contact email, and business type (OEM, Distributor, Reseller, VAR).
• Market Delivery: Inquires about direct sales to the government, use of VARs/Resellers, and willingness to establish contract vehicles for provisionally authorized items.
• Delineation: Asks about retention of operational and legal responsibility for service performance.
• SLAs & Credits: Seeks information on primary responsibility for Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance and downtime calculations.
• Pricing Models: Asks about support for Public/Commercial Rates, Negotiated "Private Offers," Enterprise Discount Programs (EDP), and Tiered Volume Discounts.
• Support: Inquires about the availability of professional services, migration services, and consultation services related to offered authorized services.
• Service Offerings: Requests the names of Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs) intended for sale to the Government.

Potential bidders should complete this questionnaire to provide the government with essential details about their organization, service delivery models, pricing structures, and specific offerings. This information will help the government assess vendor capabilities and may influence the final requirements and structure of the JWCC XaaS acquisition. Responding to this query is crucial for vendors interested in participating in future phases of the JWCC initiative.
