DESO Questions.pdf

The document is a Vendor Questions & Answers (Q&A) file for the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Enterprise Security and Operation (DESO) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The document reveals that the DIA is in the market research phase for this contract, with the Industry Day scheduled for 4-5 March 2025. Key details include: the contract is not yet determined to be a small business set-aside, will likely be unclassified (with potential classified task orders), and aims to consolidate multiple existing contracts into a single contract vehicle.

The Q&A covers various aspects of the upcoming solicitation, including past performance submission, security clearance expectations (unclassified), and potential mission areas such as Physical Security, Police, Information Security, Personnel Security, and Insider Security. The government has not finalized many specifics, including whether it will be a single or multi-award IDIQ, the exact labor categories, deployment requirements, or specific skill sets needed. The Labor Categories (LCAT) will be added as an attachment to the Statement of Work (SOW), and the final SOW will be released after market research and acquisition strategy are determined.
