The Department of Defense, through the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), is soliciting proposals for the provision, installation, and maintenance of a 10GB WAVE service between Kansas and Nebraska. This procurement aims to fulfill a controlled access requirement for telecommunications services, which are critical for secure and efficient communication within defense operations. Interested vendors must possess a DITCO Basic Agreement to access the solicitation documents, and all quotes should detail monthly and non-recurring charges, with evaluations based on the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) criteria. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Kendal Richter or Kevin Knowles via their respective emails, with proposals due by the specified deadline outlined in the solicitation.

The document, an administrative amendment (0001) to inquiry HC101326QA039-0001, extends the proposal due date to January 2, 2026, and the service date to April 2, 2026. This inquiry seeks quotes for providing, installing, and maintaining 10GB wave service between Fort Leavenworth, KS, and Offutt AFB, NE. Contractors must comply with all technical aspects, including standard provisions, specific technical requirements, and pricing. Quotes must provide sufficient detail and rationale, avoiding simple rephrasing of government requirements. The service must be engineered and provisioned with end-to-end diversity from a related inquiry (HC101326QA040), requiring physical separation of at least 50 meters. Contractors must submit color PowerPoint drawings detailing routes, separation distances, fiber miles, and round-trip delay. Pre-award site surveys are authorized at contractor expense. This is a re-award of an existing service, and the incumbent's current service agreement will be discontinued if their quote is selected. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

This is a controlled access requirement and attachments will be made available only to entities with a DITCO Basic Agreement. Access requests must include the requestor’s UEI or CAGE code for verification purposes; any requests submitted without this identifying information will be rejected.  If access request has not been approved/rejected within one business day, please send email to disa.scott.ditco.mbx.ps8211@mail.mil.
