The desired delivery period for this requirement is 31 March 2024 – 30 March 2025, for a one (1) year ordering period. This is a supply, not a service. The government requires various Google SKUs for continued operational activities of the Google Cloud Platform to support the Amplifier Platform for the PTT program. The PTT program utilizes a network and data solution to streamline pilot training.

This solution was developed, utilizing Google Cloud Technologies, to effectively facilitate student learning by creating a simulated training environment. Considering the developed solution was created using Google Cloud Technologies, only Google Cloud products can meet the governments requirements. As a result, Carahsoft is the only vendor capable of meeting the governments requirements, because they are the only public sector reseller of Google Cloud products.
