The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Global Information Grid Services Management (GSM) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle supports comprehensive networking and information technology services for the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN). The contract encompasses three primary capability groups: GSM-Operations (GSM-O), GSM-Engineering, Transition and Implementation (GSM-ETI), and GSM-Projects and Support (P&S). These capabilities are designed to provide engineering, implementation, integration, connection approval, and IT service management activities in support of existing and future Defense Information System Network (DISN) networking capabilities, with the ultimate goal of maintaining and evolving the Global Information Grid's networking infrastructure.

Task orders under this vehicle predominantly focus on systems engineering, network infrastructure design, and technical support services, with values ranging from approximately $2.6 million to $52 million and typical durations of one year. Key prime contractors include NES Associates (a CSRA/General Dynamics company), By Light Professional IT Services, and Ipkeys Technologies, with most task orders being awarded on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. The majority of task orders do not have small business set-aside designations, and performance locations are primarily concentrated in Maryland (such as Fort Meade) and Virginia (like Arlington). The task orders cover a wide range of technical services, including DISN secure systems engineering, IP traffic analysis, network optimization, customer implementation projects, and comprehensive IT and communications support for DISA's global mission.
