This 10-year vehicle has an estimated value of $4.105 billion and is designed to provide native hyperscale cloud services across the Department. To meet specialized technical requirements, including massive compute elasticity exceeding 25,000 concurrent vCPUs and specific hardware density for AI/ML and weather modeling, the agency is utilizing a Direct-to-CSP approach. Consequently, the Department contemplates that only Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) acting as the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) will be eligible for award to ensure direct engineering support and access to proprietary global backbones.
