How to bid on Ethernet transport with PRI delivery for DISA

What DISA is buying

The Defense Information Systems Agency is seeking three TDM PRI telecommunications lines provided as Ethernet transport with PRI delivery in Washington, DC. This is a small-business set-aside, and the solicitation uses a lowest-price, technically acceptable evaluation.

Five technically interdependent solicitations are listed. Review the attachments to understand the specific requirement and how the solicitations relate.

Dates and the deadline

The opportunity was published October 22, 2026. The listed deadline is November 23, 2026, at 12:30 PM ET.

The attachments provide the quote deadline and service dates, and their dates take precedence over conflicting dates in SAM.gov. Confirm the deadline in the most recent attachment and follow its instructions for submitting your quote.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is for small-business telecommunications vendors able to provide Ethernet transport with PRI delivery. The listed NAICS code is 517121, and the small-business size standard is 1,500 employees.

Because the solicitations are described as technically interdependent, review all relevant attachments before deciding whether your firm can meet the requirements.

How to access the solicitation

The solicitation is controlled access. To request the attachments, your entity must have a DITCO Basic Agreement, and the access request must include the requestor’s UEI or CAGE code for verification. Requests without that identifying information will be rejected.

The announcement also says the solicitation can be downloaded through IDEAS: log in, open the Solicitations tab, then select the Solicitation Package icon. To reach the opportunity through the portal, click “View original source”; if the first click opens the portal homepage, click it again. A free account may be needed to view documents.

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

Prepare a clear, complete quote

Use the attachments as your source for the service details, place of performance, point of contact, quote instructions, and exact deadline. Check each technically interdependent solicitation so your response addresses the applicable requirements.

Identify quoted prices as monthly recurring charges and/or non-recurring charges. Make sure each CLIN includes the item description, quantity, and unit of measure indicated in the IQO Deskbook.

Since quotes are evaluated on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, check that your response follows the stated technical criteria and that the pricing is complete and easy to review. The announcement says there will be no separate written solicitation, so rely on the posted announcement and attachments.
