- RFI Proposed Changes to Schedule 70 SIN 132 40 Title : General Purpose Commercial Information Technology Equipment, Software and Services Solicitation Number : FCIS-JB-980001-B The Government's desire to move legacy data centers to Cloud environments, along with the rapidly evolving Cloud delivery models, provided by vendors, requires GSA to update the definitional requirements of Cloud computing under Special Item Number (SIN) 132-40. This proposed update to the Cloud SIN seeks to enhance the ability of vendors and the Government to more efficiently provide and acquire Cloud applications and supporting services as a solution. The proposed changes are: Revising the name of the SIN to reflect "Cloud and Cloud-Related IT Professional Services." Addition of clarifying language to solve ambiguities about the necessity of "metering," as required by the NIST Cloud essential characteristics. In short, SIN 132-40 now clarifies that Cloud products must have discrete "pay as you go" measurements of appropriate compute resources to ensure the Government realizes the benefit of Cloud deployments. Addition of IT Professional Services to the SIN. This change will allow IT services organizations to provide IT professional services in direct support of Cloud migration and adoption. The focus of these IT professional services shall be aligned to assessing Cloud solutions, preparing for Cloud solutions, refactoring workloads for Cloud solutions, migrating Cloud solutions, and providing governance to Cloud solutions. Evaluation factors will be removed from Critical Element terms and conditions and moved to CI-FSS-152-N ADDITIONAL EVALUATION FACTORS FOR NEW OFFERORS UNDER SCHEDULE 70. [Within this document, the phrase "cloud (computing) services" or "cloud (computing) products" shall mean commodity cloud products such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS), etc. Cloud-Related IT Professional Services shall mean the cloud related IT professional services (e.g., labor categories) in support of cloud services. ] The proposed changes will allow Government customers to more easily procure either: Cloud Services only (i.e. SaaS, etc.); Cloud-computing related IT professional services only; or Cloud Services (i.e. SaaS, etc.) and supporting cloud computing-related IT professional services.
