DoD CIO Dana Deasy recently indicated that there were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2019\/12\/12\/here-are-some-early-adopters-of-the-controversial-jedi-cloud\/\" target=_blank>14 early adopters waiting to migrate systems<\/a> over to the enterprise cloud, including the Navy and at least two combatant commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To satisfy the requirements from the House bill, Deasy had to provide the committee with \u201ca list of specific contracting opportunities for commercial cloud services the Department is contemplating over the next two years; a description of each contract opportunity; whether it will be structured as a full and open competition or sole source contract; the Department\u2019s planned use for the cloud service; the estimated fiscal year and quarter for the release of each solicitation; planned contract type and structure; and estimated maximum contract value and period of performance, including each option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deasy said Dec. 12 that there was \u201csomething like\u201d 10 more cloud contracts forthcoming over the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/govcon\/contracting\/2019\/10\/30\/so-what-problems-does-jedi-solve-really\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cloud-Computing.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">So what problems does JEDI solve, really?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Industry leaders say that the DoD&#039;s enterprise cloud will allow the warfighter to access data quicker, consolidate data and develop artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the minibus appropriations bill that includes funding for several other cabinet departments is passed and signed into law by President Donald Trump, the DoD CIO will have to submit a quarterly report to Congress detailing its efforts to implement its cloud strategy, the budget documents state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD is already a \u201cmulti-cloud\u201d environment. But with over 500 clouds throughout the enterprise, Deasy has indicated that he wants to reduce the number of siloed clouds in the agency, saying Dec. 12 that \u201cwe sure in the heck don\u2019t need 100 clouds, we probably don\u2019t need 50 clouds, but we definitely need more than one or two clouds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD cloud strategy explicitly says that it will take a \u201cmulti-cloud, multi-vendor\u201d approach to its cloud environment. For the last two years of the JEDI procurement process, the department has struggled to quell fears and misunderstanding in industry and Congress about the JEDI cloud existing has the DoD\u2019s sole cloud. The DoD strategy calls for a general purpose cloud and several fit-for-purpose clouds, though the department said it will move 80 percent of its systems over to the JEDI cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
