How to bid on a 2.5 GB commercial circuit for DISA
What DISA is buying and why it matters
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking quotes for a 2.5 GB commercial telecommunications circuit to be established within Southwest Asia. This is an opportunity for telecommunication providers to offer essential services to the Department of Defense.
This is an unrestricted requirement, meaning businesses of all sizes can compete. The agency will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, so competitive pricing combined with meeting all technical requirements will be key.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation was published on July 23, 2026. All quotes must be submitted by August 24, 2026, at 6:00 AM ET. This deadline is firm, and late submissions will likely not be considered.
At the deadline, DISA will begin evaluating the submitted quotes based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. Ensure your submission is complete and accurate before this time.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for telecommunication providers with experience in commercial circuit services, particularly those capable of operating in Southwest Asia. Vendors must be registered under the appropriate NAICS codes to access the solicitation documents.
Additionally, providers must have a current DITCO Basic Agreement (BA) signed by both the Government and the Contractor before submitting any quotes. If you do not have this agreement, you will not be able to bid.
How to respond to this solicitation
To access the solicitation documents, click the “View original source” link. If the first click takes you to the portal's homepage, click it again to go directly to the bid. You may need a free account on the portal to view all documents.
When requesting access to the restricted documents, you must include your UEI or CAGE code for verification. Requests without this information will be rejected. Once you have access, review the full solicitation, including the DITCO Additional Telecommunications Text (DATT), for complete instructions and evaluation criteria.
Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review all attachments, especially the DITCO Additional Telecommunications Text (DATT), which contains specific instructions and evaluation criteria. Ensure your quote clearly separates Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC), Non-Recurring Charges (NRC), and any tiered pricing for additional service months.
Since this is an LPTA evaluation, focus on providing the most competitive price while fully meeting all technical requirements outlined in the solicitation. Double-check that your firm has the required NAICS registration and a current DITCO Basic Agreement in place before preparing your submission.
