PL5 RFI 52184 - 50MB Commercial Lease - Eastern EU

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), operating through DITCO-Europe, is conducting market research regarding the procurement of a 50MB commercial lease for Eastern Europe. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for planning and information-gathering purposes and does not constitute a commitment to issue a Request for Proposal or award a contract. The primary objective is to determine appropriate strategies and identify viable solutions to meet the Agency's telecommunications requirements for services outside the contiguous United States. Responses are being sought from vendors classified under the Wired Telecommunications Carriers NAICS category (517111) and IT and Telecom services. The submission deadline for responses is November 5, 2025, with the notice having been posted on October 22, 2025. Respondents should note that the Government will not reimburse any information gathering or administrative costs incurred in preparing their responses.

This pre-solicitation notice includes no set-aside designations, and no specific incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the announcement. The RFI does not disclose a specific award value, budget range, or quantity specifications beyond the 50MB commercial lease requirement. No evaluation criteria have been detailed in this stage of the market research process, as the primary purpose is to gather information to inform future procurement strategy. The notice emphasizes that this RFI represents preliminary market research to support DISA's planning efforts and does not obligate the Government to proceed with any future solicitation or contract award. Interested telecommunications service providers should carefully review the complete documentation and prepare responses that address the Agency's stated requirements for Eastern European telecommunications infrastructure.
