AI summary Beta
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is asking industry for white papers on how to install and upgrade site power at its global Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) and satellite Teleport sites. This is a request for information (RFI) only, not a solicitation, and no contract is awarded from it. Work would span sites in the U.S. and overseas; the notice lists Fort George G Meade, MD as the place of performance.
Watch out for
- Large, global scope. The work covers hundreds of network sites and satellite sites in the U.S. and overseas, which may be too big for a small business to do alone and may point to teaming.
DISN Internet Protocol (IP) Transport: 396 Sites
- Information request only. No solicitation exists yet and the government is not committed to buying, so responding costs you time and money with no guarantee of a contract.
The Government does not intend to pay for information received in response to this RFI.
- Classification codes may change. The NAICS and PSC codes may change in the real solicitation, which could affect size standards and set-asides.
Please note that the PSC and NAICS code are subject to change once information is reviewed and an official solicitation is posted.
