Background

Ascend is a competitive, multiple-award, multi-agency BPA that addresses the governmentwide need for cloud solutions, including:

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud solutions
  • Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud solutions
  • Cloud IT professional services

The proposed multiple-award BPA will allow agencies to acquire and implement secure, seamlessly integrated, commercial cloud service offerings as a replacement for legacy enterprise IT services and products including but not limited to:

  • deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment.

The BPA will consist of three independent primary pools with respective independent sub-pools as identified by the Government. Each primary pool and sub-pool will be independently evaluated and awarded, based on the award criteria for each pool and sub-pool.
