JWCC UCM Industry Query on XaaS

Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) Next, now known as JWCC Unified Cloud Marketplace (UCM), will function as a single, unified solution that supports the consumption of all provisionally authorized (PA) cloud service offerings (CSOs) from approved cloud service providers (CSPs)—not limited to the current hyperscalers. To achieve this efficiently while preserving security, compliance, and operational integrity, the solution will be structured as follows: - Tier 1 – Hyperscalers: Core infrastructure and platform services from established large-scale CSPs - Tier 2 – Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS): Includes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and non-hyperscale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) - Tier 3 – Commercial Innovators & Small Businesses: Innovative, agile, and non-traditional cloud offerings from emerging providers and small businesses that meet PA standards This approach will create a comprehensive marketplace that promotes competition, accelerates access to cutting-edge capabilities, and ensures qualified industry partners can participate equitably. The Industry Query (IQ) included within this posting supports the next phase in this multi-step approach and is for the JWCC XaaS and Commercial Innovators & Small Businesses contract only .
