The Defense Department’s enterprise cloud contract is already generating robust acquisition demand, coming on the heels of its chief information officer directing component agencies to use the vehicle in new cloud buys.
Defense Information Systems Agency Director Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner said at the AFCEA TechNet Augusta conference Wednesday that 13 task orders off the Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability contract have already been awarded — worth more than $200 million over the lifecycle of the contract — and more are on the way.
“A lot of work has gone on with JWCC, I think that is a success story,” Skinner said. “We’ve got like 13 [task orders] in contracting right now and 45 packages to where the department is truly moving out on this. And nine of them are associated with [Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control]. So there’s a link with CJADC2 when it comes to the cloud.”
