NOAA intends to award an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle to cloud service providers to support the NOAA cloud strategy, which aims to enable direct access to hyperscale cloud services at all organizational levels, according to a sources sought notice posted on Wednesday.
The agency said the CSPs must be headquartered in the United States, with its primary data centers and critical infrastructure located within the country.
They must also demonstrate direct control over infrastructure changes, including the integration of advanced cloud technologies such as elastic computing, storage and network infrastructure; enhanced security measures; and advanced data analytics capabilities that support scientific research and data collaboration.
Other requirements include having multiple large-scale data centers in each region, with a total of at least 20 data centers, and the capability to support hundreds of thousands of servers, virtual machines and containers and handle petabytes to exabytes of data.
Interested parties have until Oct. 30 to respond to the notice.
