GSA Rethinks Cloud Procurement

摘要

The General Services Administration is canceling its purchase agreement and request for quotations for cloud computing services, with plans to revise them. Why? Because the cloud market is changing so fast.rnGSA, which provides IT services to other federal agencies, has been using a "blanket purchase agreement" as part of the rollout of cloud services across government through the Apps.gov portal. But the purchase agreement was 11 months in the making, and that's "like 11 years" in the evolving cloud market, says Dave McClure, GSAs associate administrator.
