DISA's Telecommunications Division wants quotes to re-award a Commercial Business Line (CBL) telecommunications service at Newport, RI. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation RFQ evaluated on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), but the real requirements, pricing structure, and full terms are in a controlled-access attachment available only to firms with a DITCO Basic Agreement.
Watch out for
- Controlled access to key requirement documents. You can't see the actual requirements, pricing structure, or full terms until you request and are granted access using your UEI/CAGE code, which adds delay before you can even prepare a quote.
attachments will be made available only to entities with a DITCO Basic Agreement
- Likely reaward of an existing service. The notice title indicates this is a reaward of an existing telecom line, so an incumbent provider may already hold this business and have an operational advantage.
- LPTA evaluation — price-driven award. Award goes to the lowest priced technically acceptable quote, leaving little room to compete on added value or service quality.
The lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process will be used to evaluate quote(s).
