Some details are in the notice's attachments, which this summary didn't read. Check the attachments on SAM.gov.
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA/DITCO) wants a telecom carrier to provide, install and maintain an Ethernet circuit with at least 100 Mbps up and down, running between Pennsylvania and Egypt. It is a request for quote for commercial services under FAR Part 12, awarded on lowest price technically acceptable. The details are in controlled-access attachments.
Watch out for
- Controlled access to the requirement. You cannot see the full requirement without a DITCO Basic Agreement, which is a barrier if you are not already a DISA telecom vendor.
This is a controlled access requirement, and attachments will be made available only to entities with a DITCO Basic Agreement.
- Price-only competition. Lowest price technically acceptable means the cheapest acceptable quote wins, leaving little room to win on quality.
The lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process will be used to evaluate quote(s).
- Overseas circuit. The circuit runs to Egypt, so you need carrier partners or capacity on that route.
- Dates may differ from SAM.gov. The attachment's dates override the SAM.gov dates, so you could miss the real due date if you only watch SAM.gov.
