How to bid on DISA’s Washington, DC TDM PRI Ethernet transport

What DISA is buying

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking quotes for two TDM PRI telecommunications lines in Washington, DC, reawarded as Ethernet transport with PRI delivery. This is a request for quotation for telecommunications services.

The opportunity is set aside for small businesses. The NAICS code is 517121, and DISA will use a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation.

Dates and the deadline

The opportunity was published October 22, 2026. The listed deadline is November 23, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET.

The attached solicitation gives the requested quote due date and other service details. DISA says dates in the most recent attachment take precedence over conflicting dates listed in SAM.gov, so check the attachment and follow its deadline.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is for small-business concerns that provide telecommunications services relevant to TDM PRI lines and Ethernet transport with PRI delivery. The stated small-business size standard is 1,500 employees.

Because access to the solicitation attachments is controlled, interested firms also need a DITCO Basic Agreement to obtain them.

How to access the solicitation and respond

The solicitation is available through IDEAS: log in, open the Solicitations tab, and select the Solicitation Package icon to download the requirement. Attachments are available only to entities with a DITCO Basic Agreement.

An access request must include the requestor’s UEI or CAGE code for verification; requests without either identifier will be rejected. If the request has not been approved or rejected within 24 hours, the notice says to email [email protected].

The announcement says it is the only solicitation and that no separate written solicitation will be issued. Review the attached RFQ for the quote submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and confirmed due date.

Prepare a clear, competitive quote

Read the full attachment before pricing. Confirm the required service, quantities, units of measure, place of performance, service date, and submission instructions rather than relying on the summary.

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

For an LPTA evaluation, make it easy to verify that your quote meets the stated requirements. Check calculations, ensure all required quote information is included, and submit before the deadline in the most recent attachment.
