But besides an extension of a deadline for bids from Sept. 17 to Oct. 9, leaders remain steadfast in plans for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/2018\/07\/26\/jedi-10b-final-request-drops-and-its-still-single-award\/\" target=_blank>single-award contract<\/a> projected to be worth some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2018\/04\/23\/the-case-for-dods-single-award-cloud-contract\/\" target=_blank>$10 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not stemming a tide of demands for more information, including from Congress. In the $674 billion defense appropriations bill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2018\/09\/13\/pentagon-set-to-win-first-on-time-budget-since-2008\/\" target=_blank>agreed upon<\/a> Sept. 13, lawmakers including a restriction on JEDI funding until 90 days after Pentagon officials submit a plan to account for cloud services and a strategy for incorporating multiple-award prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lack of strategy is a chief concern about JEDI, second only to the single-award approach that industry leaders almost uniformly denounce as antithetical to best practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou need to know where you\u2019re going, then you can have some view of how to make the trade-offs. I don\u2019t think DoD has adequately described where they\u2019re going,\u201d said John Stenbit, former assistant secretary of defense for command, control, communications and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s the test we\u2019re doing to do in the end, where if it passes I\u2019ll pay them and if it doesn\u2019t pass I won\u2019t pay them? It\u2019s a good question to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stenbit spoke as part of a panel at the Hudson Institute in Washington on Sept. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA roadmap has become a practice that gives DoD and Congress a long-term perspective of how a particular suite of programs or capabilities are going to be managed,\u201d said William Schneider, Hudson senior fellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor example, [DoD has] a roadmap for procuring unmanned systems between 2018 to 2042.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Schneider, Pentagon leadership does have some sort of roadmap for JEDI, though it hasn\u2019t been released. But he said there are clues that hint at least a little at the way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause they talk about maintaining a fierce competition for these services, I deduce from that they have some plan to expand the scope of cloud providers from what might initially be a relatively small set of large firms that are capable of responding to the RFP to a process yet to be described about the how the larger cloud service industry will be integrated into the DoD concept of procurement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schneider told reporters Aug. 30 that the absence of a roadmap has \u201canimated anxieties about what is going to be the future of this market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoD says they want to take advantage of the commercial model, but the absence of a roadmap has made it difficult to persuade the Hill, who tend to be the biggest advocates for competitive sourcing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At press time, Pentagon officials had not responded to a request for more information on a roadmap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a growing chorus demanding answers for the $10 billion cloud contract, and one big voice just
