AWARD NOTICE: Requirement to start a 10.709 GB commercial lease Intra-Europe.

This contract award is for a 60-month commercial telecommunications lease of a 10.709 GB dedicated circuit connecting Deveselu, Romania, and Wiesbaden Erbenheim, Germany, with performance beginning upon contract award and extending through the full five-year term unless terminated earlier. The requirement is managed by DISA/DITCO Europe under the Department of Defense and is tied to a joint solicitation with HC102125QA135, meaning both must be awarded to the same vendor to ensure network resilience through diverse paths. Offerors must submit comprehensive technical documentation, including KMZ/KML circuit diagrams, equipment lists compliant with DATT 52, and full adherence to all referenced FAR and DFARS clauses, including cybersecurity, CUI protection, NIST SP 800-171 assessment, and privacy training mandates. Technical acceptability is evaluated as a binary pass/fail based on full compliance with DATTs, clauses, and submission requirements, with only technically acceptable proposals considered for award. Selection is then determined by the lowest combined life cycle cost across both solicitations, encompassing acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal expenses, but not based on a simple LPTA model. Submission must occur via the IDEAS system by the deadline of December 8, 2025, with no allowances for assumptions or deviations. The contractor is required to perform a site survey at both termination points prior to installation and must submit as-built diagrams post-award. All responses must include completed representations for UEI, cybersecurity compliance, and other regulatory obligations, with noncompliance resulting in automatic rejection. Although pricing details are not publicly disclosed, the contract does not specify a set-aside status and allows participation by any vendor regardless of size or socioeconomic designation. The contracting officer is Sarah Tyler, while Karie Kapise serves as the primary technical point of contact, with administrative oversight based in APO, AE 09136. There are no specified invoicing methods, payment offices, or FOB terms provided in the documentation.
