How to bid on DISA’s Ethernet transport and PRI delivery requirement

What DISA is buying

The Defense Information Systems Agency is seeking quotes for two TDM PRI telecommunications lines delivered over Ethernet in Washington, DC. This is a request for quotation for telecommunications services.

The requirement is set aside for small businesses. Five listed solicitations are technically interdependent, so vendors should review the attachments to understand how this requirement fits with the related solicitations.

Key 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 time, and the most recent attachment takes precedence over any conflicting dates in SAM.gov. This announcement is the only solicitation; a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity may suit a small-business telecommunications provider able to quote the requested TDM PRI lines delivered over Ethernet. The listed NAICS code is 517121, and the small-business size standard is 1,500 employees.

The solicitation uses a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation. Vendors should be prepared to meet the technical requirements in the attachments as well as provide pricing.

How to access and submit a response

The solicitation attachments are controlled access and 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 this information will be rejected.

The solicitation can also be downloaded through IDEAS by logging in, opening the Solicitations tab, and selecting the Solicitation Package icon. The portal’s “View original source” option may open the homepage on the first click; click it again to go to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents.

The provided information does not specify how to submit the quote. Check the attached RFQ for submission instructions, the exact deadline, service date, place of performance and point-of-contact details.

Prepare a clear, compliant quote

Read the RFQ and the related solicitation attachments before pricing. Confirm the technical requirements and evaluation criteria, especially because the listed solicitations are technically interdependent.

Show 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.

Check that the quote addresses every stated requirement and follows the attachment’s submission instructions. Allow time to obtain controlled-access documents and verify the current due date in the most recent attachment.
