How to bid on Enterprise Messaging Modernization and Engineering Support for DISA
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is looking for information and capability statements from vendors who can provide enterprise messaging modernization and engineering support. This work is critical for the Department of Defense's information sharing and Joint Information Environment goals.
The anticipated effort involves full lifecycle support for a resilient, scalable, and secure messaging capability. It also requires continuous 24/7/365 contractor support to meet DISA's operational standards and joint-warfighter needs.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI), published on August 26, 2026. The deadline for responses is October 02, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. At the deadline, DISA will stop accepting capability statements and industry insights.
An RFI is used by an agency to gather information and assess market capabilities. It is not a request for proposals and does not commit the government to award a contract.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for technology firms with expertise in enterprise messaging systems, network engineering, and secure infrastructure. Vendors should have experience providing continuous, round-the-clock support for critical IT systems.
Firms specializing in modernization projects, system lifecycle management, and those familiar with Department of Defense information environments would be well-suited to respond to this RFI.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When responding to an RFI, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's technical capabilities and relevant experience. Highlight past projects that involved enterprise messaging, secure communications, or 24/7 operational support.
Ensure your capability statement directly addresses the agency's stated needs for modernization, resilience, scalability, and security. Provide specific examples of how your solutions align with these requirements. Even though this is an RFI, a well-crafted response can position your company favorably for future solicitations.
