Chapter 20 - Joint and Cooperative and GSA Contracts

20.2.9 When ordering Cloud/Software as a Service goods or services from GSA IT Contracts or any other authorized Cooperative Agreement

If the Joint and/or Cooperative Procurement involves an off-premise (cloud hosted) solution, agencies must follow the Enterprise Cloud Oversight Services, (ECOS) Process, and Third Party Policy Workflow. A Security Assessment of the cloud service will need to be completed by the supplier and approved by ECOS, via a work request 1-003, and special Cloud Services Terms & Conditions must be included in the contract prior to award. The Security Assessment form and Cloud Services Terms & Conditions should be included in the request for quote document package sent to supplier(s) for supplier(s) to complete and submit with its proposal and to provide their redlines/exceptions to any of the Cloud Terms & Conditions.
