JWCC UCM Industry Query on XaaS

Other / Unclassified

This document is an Industry Query (IQ) from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) seeking information from industry to aid in planning a potential new requirement. DISA is exploring acquisition strategies for a targeted Unified Cloud Marketplace to build upon the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract. This new, independent contract vehicle will focus exclusively on the rapid procurement and delivery of Anything as a Service (XaaS) capabilities, including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and non-hyperscale Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

The query defines hyperscale Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and outlines the government's need for XaaS solutions that comply with stringent security requirements, with a particular focus on understanding the lifecycle management and accountability of security authorizations across complex supply chains.

This IQ is not a Request for Proposals (RFP), and no solicitation is currently available. DISA is gathering market intelligence to understand market dynamics and procurement pathways for XaaS products. Interested parties are requested to complete an attached Excel questionnaire and may provide additional information (limited to 5 pages). Responses are due via email by June 11, 2026. DISA may conduct market research meetings with potential partners. Questions should be submitted via email. This IQ is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the government to any future contract award. All information received will be considered government property.

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.
