The Defense Information Systems Agency on April 1 released the request for proposals for its Global Network Services contract, an agreement worth more than $4 billion.
The long-awaited RFP outlines the broad range of telecommunications services DISA will offer more than 1 million Defense Department users under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity agreement with five base years and five one-year options with a ceiling of $4.3 billion.
"GNS will provide DISA with a vehicle to procure leased telecommunications services in support of the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) and DoD Information Network (DoDIN) worldwide," the contract documents state.
GNS will provide a single, cohesive global network by 2020 that will include all types of wired and wireless communications, with voice, video and data transmitted around the world on a 100-gigabit-per-second backbone, 10 times the speed of the circuits it uses today. The program covers the transport services for DoD and national security customers, connecting users virtually through physical cables and wires, satellite connections and more, according to DISA officials.
