Global Information Grid (GIG) Services Management (GSM)

The Department of Defense’s Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is in the process of finalizing its acquisition strategy to replace the expiring DISN Global Solutions contracts with the upcoming Global Information Grid (GIG) Services Management (GSM) contract. While details such as the structure and duration of the new contract(s) have not yet been determined, DISA has emphasized that current visual materials shared with industry should not be interpreted as indicative of the final contract arrangement. Final decisions are expected within the next two months, after which DISA plans to hold an industry day to provide clarity on the strategy and allow industry participants to prepare for the solicitation process. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541513 and is managed by the Telecommunications Division at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Key points of contact for the acquisition are Contracting Officer Kathy M. Tullock and Contracting Specialist Amanda M. Hund, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiries. Given the importance of this procurement for managing GIG services, DISA is urging industry stakeholders to wait for official guidance before drawing conclusions from publicly available information.
