Telecom CBL

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is soliciting telecommunications services to establish connectivity for a specialized communications system designated as Telecom CBL. The procurement involves transporting a Lucent 5ESS dialtone line (449-4298) from Building 1110, which serves as the Central Office, to Building 3179, identified as the FAA Tower facility. This service is a critical component of Preset Conference 10's Secondary Scramble Alert system, indicating its role in emergency or high-priority defense communications infrastructure. The solicitation was posted on August 20, 2025, with responses due the same day, creating an extremely compressed timeline for potential contractors. The procurement falls under NAICS code 517111 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers and PSC category DG11 for IT and Telecom Network Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified contractors capable of providing the specialized telecommunications transport services. No information regarding incumbent contractors, potential award values, or specific budget ranges is provided in the solicitation notice. The service requires establishing connectivity between two specific government buildings, with the precise technical requirement being the transport of a single dialtone line using Lucent 5ESS equipment. The place of performance involves facilities that appear to be co-located or within close proximity, given the specific building designations and the nature of the telecommunications infrastructure connection. The compressed timeline suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement or emergency procurement to maintain critical defense communications capabilities.
