This posting coincides with a widely attended Industry Day held on March 7, 2018, during which Department leadership shared their thoughts about the importance of JEDI Cloud and plans for the upcoming acquisition. The intent of this Draft Solicitation is to provide early and frequent exposure to industry of the Department’s evolving requirement. This early introduction of our anticipated solicitation, in advance of the final solicitation, should serve to enhance industry’s understanding of the Department's stated need while reducing ambiguity, and affording industry an opportunity to offer comments or pose questions regarding any element of this Draft Solicitation package. While industry is reviewing this draft, the Department will continue to assess its overall requirement. It is important that you remember that the Department is crafting a requirement that best suits its interests, and is not seeking to tailor that requirement to your particular business niche or position. However, your thoughts and suggestions remain critical to understanding any ambiguity, feasibility, and/or viability of the depicted requirement. Questions or comments pertaining to the JEDI Cloud Draft Solicitation Package shall be submitted via the enclosed Comment Resolution Matrix (CRM), posted as an attachment on FBO, which includes detailed instructions and format for submission. All feedback, which shall use the CRM, must be submitted via email to [email protected] no later than March 21, 2018 at 4:00 pm ET. The Government intends to publish submitted comments and the Department’s answers before the release of the Final Solicitation. Company names will not be revealed.

Questions sent to any other email address will not be considered.
