Modification to Extend DTS-P Contract

The contract involves a six-month bridge extension of the DISN Transmission Services - Pacific (DTS-P) agreement, with a potential additional six-month extension if necessary. The extension period covers from April 26, 2010, through October 25, 2010, and if exercised, would extend through April 25, 2011. DTS-P provides critical end-to-end telecommunications transmission services for all Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) users within the Expanded Pacific Region, which includes all Military Departments and other federal agencies. The continuation of these services is essential to maintaining mission operations until the new follow-on contract, DISN Transmission Services - Pacific II (DTS-P II), is fully implemented and operational. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense's Ditco-pac office based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and falls under NAICS code 517110, which pertains to wired telecommunications carriers. Key points of contact for the contract include Marla C. Ferrer, Supervisory Contract Specialist, and LeeAnn R. Densley, Contract Specialist. The extension ensures uninterrupted telecommunications services, supporting vital military and federal operations in the Pacific region during the transition to the new contract.
