The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States Government established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating non-Governmental interstate and international communications by wire, radio, television, satellite, and cable. The FCC’s jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions.

The FCC Chief Information Officer (CIO) is responsible for the IT programs, systems, and services (e.g., applications) and is the senior IT advisor to the Chairman, Commissioners, and Managing Director. Under leadership of the CIO, the FCC Information Technology Center (ITC) is responsible for the IT and telecommunications infrastructure and related systems to support the mission of the FCC’s Bureaus and Offices. In support of the CIO, FCC ITC will implement and deploy IT systems and services (e.g., applications) that support core mission capabilities of the Bureaus and Offices. This includes modifying or enhancing existing IT systems and services, moving existing systems and services to a cloud environment, or creating new IT systems and services on modernized platforms. These IT efforts generate the need for the Application Development Support Services collectively outlined in this PWS to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of requisite capabilities.
