How to bid on DISA’s 10GB point-to-point Ethernet service

What DISA is buying

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking quotes for a 10GB point-to-point Ethernet service between two locations in Texas, including installation and maintenance. The exact locations and service dates are in the solicitation attachment.

This is a request for quotation for telecommunications services. DISA will use a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation, so a quote needs to meet the stated technical requirements as well as offer a competitive price.

Deadline and what to check

The opportunity is listed as published October 22, 2026, with a deadline of November 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. The attachment contains the specific quote deadline and time, so verify those details there.

The announcement says offers are being requested and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Make sure your quote is submitted as directed in the attachment by the stated deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity may suit telecommunications providers able to deliver, install, and maintain point-to-point Ethernet service. The associated NAICS code is 517111, and the product and service code is DG11.

The procurement is not set aside for small businesses. Only entities with a DITCO Basic Agreement can access the solicitation attachments.

How to access the solicitation

To view the opportunity through the portal, click “View original source.” If the first click opens the portal homepage, click the option again to go to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents.

The announcement also says the solicitation can be downloaded through IDEAS: log in, open the “Solicitations” tab, then select the “Solicitation Package” icon. For a controlled-access request, include the requestor’s UEI or CAGE code; requests without that identifying information will be rejected.

If an access request has not been approved or rejected within 24 hours, the announcement instructs vendors to email [email protected].

Prepare a complete, competitive quote

Read the attachment before pricing. Confirm the exact service locations, dates, technical requirements, quote deadline, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria rather than relying on the summary.

Show quoted prices as monthly recurring charges and/or non-recurring charges. Check that each CLIN includes the required item description, quantity, and unit of measure, and make sure the quote clearly addresses every technical requirement.
