However, with the administration&#8217;s cloud-first policy, the General Services Administration wants to make buying cloud even simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency recently created a cloud special item number (SIN) on Schedule 70 and is now turning its attention to evaluating a new cloud-centric contract vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>More: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/it\/cloud\/2015\/05\/01\/schedule-70-refresh-cloud-sin\/26709749\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/it\/cloud\/2015\/05\/01\/schedule-70-refresh-cloud-sin\/26709749\/\">Schedule 70 refresh includes new cloud SIN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final product is still a &#8220;couple years out,&#8221; according to Marcelo Olascoaga, service line planner at GSA&#8217;s Office of Integrated Technology Services (ITS), but the agency is combing through responses to a RFI issued earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the agency is moving forward with the evaluation, the new contract is by no means a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;GSA at this time is simply seeking to gain information from our partners about alternative models and\/or solutions for future cloud acquisition contracts,&#8221; said Mary Davie, ITS assistant commissioner. &#8220;The agency has not made any decisions as to what such a solution would look like or when it would be released.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSA currently manages two cloud blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) on Schedule 70 \u2014 one for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and another for Email-as-a-Service (EaaS) \u2014 however those do not cover the broad range of services agencies are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This RFI was asking both industry and government agencies whether we needed to create a cloud offering so that all the cloud services would be centralized in a single contract and provide you more clear direction of what you needed to order cloud services,&#8221; Olascoaga said during a presentation at the Federal IT Acquisition Summit on June 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>More: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/it\/cloud\/2015\/02\/16\/gsa-new-cloud-contract-vehicle\/23497687\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/it\/cloud\/2015\/02\/16\/gsa-new-cloud-contract-vehicle\/23497687\/\">New cloud contract in development at GSA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 75 responses were sent in by the March deadline, mostly positive, though GSA is still accepting input from interested parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a preliminary review, Olascoaga said the resultant contract will likely be broken into five &#8220;lots,&#8221; or categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Infrastructure-as-a-Service;<\/li><li>Platform-as-a-Service;<\/li><li>Software-as-a-Service;<\/li><li>Cloud-enabling technologies; and<\/li><li>Consulting services.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By providing this contract, we&#8217;re going to allow for flexibility to take place,&#8221; Olascoaga said. &#8220;There are other GWACs out there, we have Schedule 70, there are departments that create department-wide BPAs off of Schedule 70 for their components to use. We want to put something out there that&#8217;s going to benefit the highest amount of population.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>More: <\/b><a

to the expected size and scope, the final contract will probably have a ceiling around $50 billion, Olascoaga said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Framework of new cloud contract
