The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking sources for the Capacity Services Communications III (CSC III) program to provide state-of-the-art communications infrastructure capacity services for the Department of Defense. The program requires contractors to deliver processing, storage, and communications services across multiple categories including general appliances, firewalls, load balancers, routers, switches, and network security systems. Key contract requirements include establishing a Program Management Office, providing 24x7x365 technical support with U.S. citizens holding Secret clearance, and achieving 99.99% system availability with capabilities for 99.999% high-availability systems. The sources sought notice is designed to determine the technical capabilities of both small businesses and large businesses, including specific subsets like Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone Small Businesses. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by March 14, 2025 at 4:00 PM CDT, with the government using the submissions to potentially determine appropriate set-aside designations.
The current incumbent for this contract is Knight Point Systems, LLC, a large business under contract HC102818D0041. The anticipated period of performance spans April 2026 to April 2036, consisting of a 5-year base contract with five 1-year option periods. Services will be required across 7 CONUS facilities, 6 OCONUS locations, 4 SCCA Cloud Access Points, and 254 worldwide Mission Partner sites. The NAICS code is 541519 with a $34 million size standard, indicating the potential scale of the procurement. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in worldwide support, hybrid/multi-cloud solutions, and comprehensive maintenance services, with additional requirements including Secret facility clearance and TESA/ASSA accreditation. While no specific set-aside has been predetermined, the sources sought notice will help DISA evaluate whether a small business set-aside is appropriate for the final solicitation.
