TAB C Instructions
| Reporting : the Army must collect, consolidate, and report commercial cloud spending as directed in the HQDA EXORD 009-20, 'Army Data Plan Implementation in Support of Cloud Migration', and subsequent fragmentary orders. |
| Implementation : To achieve this objective, the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency (ECMA) implemented the Technology Business Management (TBM) taxonomy with associated General Services Administration Product Service Codes (PSCs) and Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) to provide more accurate and comprehensive reporting of cloud investments. See Appendix HH, TAB A for the TBM taxonomy. Additionally, cloud requirements owners shall include the applicable Performance Work Statement (PWS) language and ensure all cloud-related requirements and resulting contract action(s) implement the Army's Common Cloud Contracting Language. See Appendix HH, TAB B for the mandatory PWS language. |
| TAB A - TBM Taxonomy (1) Identify the cloud activity (e.g., migrating to the cloud, new software development in the cloud, etc.) (2) Based on the cloud activity, use the assigned TBM tower and PSC to enable clear mapping of the requirement to an appropriate CLIN (3) NOTE: the cloud activity will be used as the CLIN name |
| TAB B - Army's Common Cloud Contracting Language (1) Using the same cloud activity identified in TAB A, locate the corresponding 'Cloud Activity/CLIN Name' in Columns C - F. - For example, if the cloud activity in TAB A is 'Migrating to the Cloud' - you would reference TAB B, Column C "1a) Migrating to the Cloud". (2) Follow the direction in Columns C - F to include the applicable PWS language (see Column B) for the specific cloud activity. - For example, "Column C - Migrating to the Cloud" requires the PWS language in Column B/Row 6 "The Contractor shall maintain all data within the legal jurisdiction of the United States IAW DFARS 239.7602-2(b)." |
