The Defense Information Systems Agency will outsource most network management, cybersecurity, and technical services functions serving 22 at Defense Department agencies to a single contractor , according to a final request for proposals released on Dec. 8.
Defense Enclave Services, with its massive scope and implications for the future of the Pentagonâs IT acquisition strategy, is the subject of this weekâs Top 20 Opportunities. The contract will have a maximum dollar value of $11.7 billion over a possible 10-year lifespan.
DISA officials had planned to release the final RFP in September, but delayed the process to give DOD chief information officer Dana Deasy time to complete a review of the program. The agency intends to evaluate bids throughout the spring and summer of 2021 and make an award decision in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
