Who can bid

Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 29, 2026.
- Serious: DITCO Basic Agreement required before quoting. A provider without a signed DITCO Basic Agreement can't quote, and getting one takes time.
- Worth checking: Not set aside for small business. Large telecom carriers can compete.
- Worth checking: Restricted-access attachments. The solicitation's details, service date and instructions are in attachments you must request with your UEI or CAGE code.
