The scope of each of these government-wide IT vehicles includes comprehensive cloud services or a subset of cloud services. Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) (the follow-on to Networx offers have been received by GSA).Networx, GSA’s government-wide telecommunications contract vehicle.


The follow-on Alliant 2 and Alliant 2 SB (release of the two solicitations is anticipated this June),.IT Schedule 70 (scope includes cloud added April 2015).That portfolio already includes, or will include, cloud services: The proposed Cloud ConFIG GWAC represents GSA’s “next generation cloud vehicle” that would expand GSA’s current information technology (IT) contract portfolio. Legacy networking technology also can inhibit agencies’ use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing, all of which require bandwidth, network speed and flexibility.ĭownload this Solutions Guide to learn how by breaking it down into manageable pieces and repurposing existing technology when feasible, agencies can create a transition path that will get them where they need to go.On March 23 rd, GSA issued a post on GSA Interact seeking “feedback on Cloud ConFIG’s (Cloud Contract Fostering Innovation in Government) Scope Statement.” GSA’s most recent post on market research is its latest communication regarding the possible creation of a separate cloud IDIQ GWAC, a draft RFP which is expected sometime in Fiscal 2016. Without significant progress, it’s difficult to increase efficiency enable protection of sensitive data, networks and critical infrastructure and move forward with broader IT modernization plans. While there has been progress-especially in switching from the Networx telecommunications contracting vehicle to the more modern Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract, agencies are at different levels in implementing modern technologies, replacing legacy infrastructure and shoring up security. Modernization is moving along, as most agencies have initiatives underway, but some aren’t as far along as they could be. In the federal government, oversight agencies have long urged agencies to modernize their networks. Network Modernization: A Stepping-Stone to the Future
