This requires the use of cloud-based, non-DoD information systems that closely integrate with systems used within the fast-paced, innovative commercial technology sector,\u201d the solicitation stated. \u201cThese services are not protected by the traditional, two-factor authentication measures of the Common Access Card (CAC) and require an alternative source of two (or multiple) forms of identification and authentication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The potential contract would be worth $6 million to $7.5 million over five years through a blanket purchasing agreement, according to the notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Innovation Unit needs different tools than most other Pentagon components. Because it works pursues innovations with commercial vendors, DIU relies largely on cloud-based software-as-a-service platforms to collaborate with industry rather than the legacy infrastructure that
