D--Request for Information - Commodity Internet Services Blanket Purchase Agreemen
Solicitation # DOIDFBO260070
The Department of the Interior, through the Interior Business Center Acquisition Services Directorate, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number DOIDFBO260070 to gather industry input on the development of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Commodity Internet Services, classified under NAICS code 517112. This sources-sought action aims to inform future acquisition planning by evaluating vendor capabilities in providing Direct Internet Access (DIA) and synchronous connectivity services that comply with federal cybersecurity mandates, specifically Executive Order 14028 and OMB Memorandum M-22-09, which require implementation of Zero Trust architecture using DOI-managed security devices. Respondents are required to submit a white paper not exceeding 20 pages in 12-point font, single-spaced with one-inch margins, addressing 12 key topics including company profile and small business status, past performance, feedback on the Statement of Work, recommended BPA structure, coverage gaps, installation timelines, support for non-standard sites, bandwidth limitations, security controls, equipment ownership and maintenance, performance reporting, and pricing models. The response deadline is August 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with submissions to be emailed to three designated points of contact. An amendment has been issued to add 11 new questions, numbered 10 through 20, to Attachment A14, with these additions highlighted in yellow, expanding the scope of market research. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, award basis, or pricing structures are included as this is a pre-solicitation market research tool and not a procurement notice. The RFI does not contain a Section I with FAR clauses, nor does it establish a formal evaluation hierarchy, award mechanism, or contract line items. Attachments referenced include the Statement of Work, an appendix to the SOW, a Regions Map, and a Q&A spreadsheet, though their full content is not accessible. Vendors must self-certify their size status under the 1,500-employee threshold for NAICS 517112 and are encouraged to identify if they qualify as a small business or any other socioeconomic category, such as SDB, WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, or 8(a), though no documentation is required at this stage.
