The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking proposals for NS-ACE, a multiple-award IDIQ contract that will supply Defense Information Systems Network capabilities through task orders for U.S. Africa, Central and European Commands. It replaces the current Global Network Services contracts. Place of performance is listed as Germany, and the proposal due date has been extended several times, most recently to 23 October 2026.
Watch out for
- Restricted-access attachments. You cannot see the requirements until your UEI or CAGE is verified, and requests without one are rejected.
any requests submitted without this identifying information will be rejected
- Large global network contract with no small business preference. It replaces eight Global Network Services contracts and has no set-aside, so a small business would likely compete against large carriers or need to team.
This MAC IDIQ will replace the current Global Network Services (GNS) contract
- Repeated due date extensions and more amendments expected. The due date has moved several times and another amendment with Q&A answers is expected, so terms may still change.
We anticipate an additional amendment with Q&A responses will be posted within the next two weeks.
