The General Services Administration wants industry feedback on the pool that is geared toward the hyperscale cloud providers.
A draft solicitation is now out for the first part of the General Services Administration’s new cloud computing program known as Ascend.
GSA has structured Ascend as a blanket purchase agreement with three pools and to be a single destination for government buyers of commercial cloud services.
The draft request for proposals released Friday covers pool one, which includes infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service offerings. Pool two is focused on software-as-a-service products and pool three is for cloud-related professional services, including systems integration.
Only GSA Schedule holders are eligible to bid for a place on the BPA. All three pools will have multiple awardees.
