Purpose & Desired End State
ï Develop and open and inclusive cloud service brokerage environment that
provides the Government the capability for rapid acquisition of proven

Financing
ï What are we financing
ï Design/Setup/Establishment/Hosting of the Service Brokerage (virtual interface)
ï Management and execution of the Service Brokerage to include mechanisms,
catalogues, Operating Instructions, etc.
ï Technical assessments for certification
ï Overhead costs (office space, equipment, supplies, etc.)
ï Three proposed ways to finance the Initiative
ï Use the present ICH/IT-AAC Partnership structure
ï Set up a separate âPartnershipâ structure
ï As a transaction fee for each transaction (Post IOC)

Proposed CONOPS (Big Picture)
ï ICH will establish a Partnership Agreement for the Agile Cloud Service Brokerage
(ACSB)
ï ICH will be the honest broker between industry and the Government
ï ICH will make Government requirements know to industry
ï ICH will make industry capabilities known to Government purchasers
ï ICH will not make recommendations to the Government or to industry but will
merely objectively provide the information requested
ï ICH will broker certification of industry Agile Cloud Service offerings with vendors
ï Govât orgs will make purchases and place orders through the ICH ACSB
ï Companies can use own GSA Schedules to provide Agile Cloud Service offerings
ï Companies without GSA Schedules may have their Agile Cloud Service offerings
facilitated by the ICH for an appropriate contracting vehicle
ï The ultimate goal is to establish a fee for Agile Cloud Service model similar to the
telecom model (FOC)

Initial CONOPS (Start Up)
ï Companies commit to six months participation in the ACSB by Session 3 (required to participate )
ï As a founding partner initial participation gets companies
ï A role in helping to shape the environment
ï Companies provide resources for Interoperability certification
ï Maximum of two certifications to sell Agile Cloud Services through the Services Brokerage
ï Listing of Service Offerings during start up and IOC (First exposure)
ï The initial six month period includes:
ï Three months for:
ï Design/Setup/Establishment/Hosting of the Service Brokerage
ï Management of the Brokerage to include mechanisms, catalogues, OIs, etc.
ï Technical assessments for certification
ï Overhead expenses (obtaining office space, equipment, supplies, etc.)
ï Three months of operation (IOC) (Limited to CCs, POs or existing contracting vehicles)
ï Participation in Agile Cloud Working Groups
ï Estimated cost for founding partnership: (six months)
ï Large Companies (<$100M) â $50K
ï Medium Companies ($15M â $100M) â $30K
ï Small Companies (>$15M) â $10K

Sustainment CONOPS
ï Founding partners pay the same partnership fees for the next 6 months with same benefits
ï Companies wanting to become partners after the initial six month period pay the partnership fee
plus the fees for certification to sell Agile Cloud Services through the brokerage
ï Certification ensures interoperability and compatibility with the rest of the service offerings
ï Once services are certified, only cost is annual fee
ï All new services must be certified to be sold through the brokerage on a fee for service
basis
ï Should partnership fees and/or certification fees not cover expenses a transaction fee
mechanism may be invoked to ensure viability of the operation
ï Government partnership fees TBD
ï FOC â TBD (Agile Cloud Service model similar to the telecom model)
