Summary
**Amendment 0001 to a FAR Part 12 combined synopsis/solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations/Information Technology Acquisition Center,** addresses the establishment of a multiple-award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Department-wide cloud services under the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer’s “Cumulus” requirement.
The unrestricted acquisition uses NAICS 518210, with a $40 million small-business size standard, Product/Service Code DH10, and requires proposals by September 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The solicitation is identified as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products and services, meaning it constitutes the complete solicitation and no separate written solicitation will be issued.
The IDIQ’s base ordering period is 12 months, followed by four potential 12-month option ordering periods. Task orders issued before contract expiration may continue for up to 12 months after expiration or termination.
The line items cover:
- Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) cloud services under SOW Sections 5.2 and 5.3
- Marketplace Services under Section 5.2.7
- Enterprise Support under Section 5.4.1
- Enterprise Training under Section 5.4.2
- Cloud Service Provider-specific professional services under Section 5.4.4
These five service categories are listed for the base period and repeated as option line items for each of Optional Ordering Periods One through Four.
The solicitation references:
- Attachment 1, Price Discount Model
- Attachment 2, Statement of Work
- Attachment 3, Past Performance Form
- Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire
The amendment emphasizes that proposed CSP-specific terms must be incorporated within the resulting IDIQ contract and may not be submitted or executed as separate vendor agreements, including separate end-user license agreements or private-sector terms that conflict with federal law, regulation, or policy.
CSPs may not unilaterally revise the contract, increase fees, reduce agreed services, or change access or usage rights. Future contract changes must be made through formal DHS contract modification.
Service retirements or modifications are permitted only when replaced with materially similar or functionally equivalent offerings, with at least 60 calendar days’ notice and no increased cost to DHS for the replacement.
DHS intends to evaluate proposals using technical capability, relevant past performance, and price, in that descending order. Technical capability and past performance combined are more important than price.
Award is expected without discussions, although DHS reserves the right to conduct discussions, reject offers, or waive minor irregularities.
