News Summary:
On September 9, 2026, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) issued a solicitation for the potential 10-year, $21.6 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability Unified Cloud Marketplace (JWCC UCM) Core indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. This multiple-award IDIQ aims to provide the Department of War with secure, multivendor cloud computing services worldwide, with offers due October 6. Previously, on September 8, the Department of Defense released the first of two final solicitations for the next iteration of the military’s main cloud computing contract, which is poised for a much wider scope compared to the current JWCC effort awarded in 2022 to Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle. Earlier on September 8, DISA's director urged IT and cyber professionals to reinforce foundational technical skills and abandon outdated maintenance practices during his keynote at the 2026 DAFITC conference. This follows DISA's continued efforts, as of September 4, to migrate all combatant commands’ common-use IT services to the Defense Department Network (DoDNet), an initiative whose complexity is prompting questions about DoDNet's ability to meet command needs. Also on September 4, the agency announced its 9th Annual HR Screening Safety & Strategy Conference for January 14, 2027, continuing a nearly decade-long tradition of bringing together HR leaders, safety professionals, screening experts, and compliance professionals.
