In July, the Department of Defense announced that it would be taking proposals for the $10 Billion Dollar JEDI Cloud Computing Contract. In a bizarre sounding update to the contract, the DoD said it would only accept submissions in the form of DVDs delivered by hand on October 12, 2018. The DVD format is 23 years old, which might suggest that the Department of Defense really does need an infrastructure upgrade. However, with an increasing number of high profile security concerns related to USB sticks, not to mention online data transfers, the DoD's decision to stick to DVDs makes sense.
In lieu of electronic submission, an Offeror’s entire proposal shall be captured on one or more DVDs and submitted in person only. No other forms of submission will be accepted. Each DVD shall be clearly marked to show the proposal volume number, solicitation number, Offeror’s name, and, if applicable, restrictive legend.
