RFI: 2. 5 GB, 5 GB, and 10 GB Commercial Circuits Intra SWA

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), through DITCO-Europe, is conducting market research to procure 2.5 GB, 5 GB, and 10 GB commercial lease circuits for intra-SWA (Southwest Asia) connectivity outside the contiguous United States. This Request for Information (RFI) is designed to gather vendor insights and market capabilities to inform DISA's procurement strategy, rather than to solicit binding proposals or commit the Government to future contracting action. The RFI was posted on November 13, 2025, with responses due by December 15, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, respondents should understand that their submissions will inform the agency's approach to meeting its telecommunications requirements. It is important to note that the Government will not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents in preparing their information submissions, as this RFI is strictly for planning and market assessment purposes.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or ownership status. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or reference previous contract awards. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed at this stage of the market research process, as the RFI's primary objective is to assess vendor capabilities and market conditions rather than to establish procurement parameters. The focus on commercial circuit solutions with defined bandwidth requirements—2.5 GB, 5 GB, and 10 GB—suggests DISA is evaluating current market offerings in telecommunications carrier services, classified under NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) and PSC DG11 (IT and Telecom - Network: Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services).
