Defense Red Switch Network Operational

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is preparing to compete a requirement for the Defense Red Switch Network Operational services as an unrestricted set-aside under the ENCORE III contract vehicle. The solicitation, designated as 621809647_1, is scheduled to have its Request for Proposal (RFP) released on May 30, 2018, with proposals expected to be due in the fourth quarter of 2018. This acquisition is specifically limited to vendors already holding awards under the ENCORE III contract, and this notice serves as an update rather than a request for competitive proposals. The procurement is categorized as a HUBZone set-aside under NAICS code 541512, which pertains to computer systems design services. Interested vendors within the ENCORE III program are encouraged to monitor the release of the RFP internally through that vehicle. The contract specialists overseeing this requirement are Claudia G. Melgar and Adelis M. Rodriguez, who can be contacted via the provided email addresses for further information. The place of performance details remain unspecified, and the contract aims to ensure operational support for the Defense Red Switch Network, a critical communication system.
