As prescribed in 239.7604(a), use the following provision:

****Representation of Use of Cloud Computing (SEP 2015)

(a) *Definition. Cloud computing,* as used in this provision, means a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (*e.g.,* networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This includes other commercial terms, such as on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. It also includes commercial offerings for software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service.

(b) The Offeror shall indicate by checking the appropriate blank in paragraph (c) of this provision whether the use of cloud computing is anticipated under the resultant contract.

(c) *Representation.* The Offeror represents that it—

____Does anticipate that cloud computing services will be used in the performance of any contract or subcontract resulting from this solicitation.

____Does not anticipate that cloud computing services will be used in the performance of any contract or subcontract resulting from this solicitation.

****(End of provision)
