The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has asked industry for ideas and responses to a request for information on a public cloud computing setup the agency is interested in.
NOAA says in the RFI released Friday that vendors should outline configurations, pricing and other characteristics in the service areas of virtual machines, storage services, network bandwidth and management tools for areas such as virtual private networks and memory caches.
Interested contractors should also detail information on physical security and FedRAMP, transition plans and program and task order management support.
NOAA estimates that a potential contract for the public cloud could be worth up to $9.9 million.
