Quick Summary
Amendment 0006 to RFQ HC102126QA001 from the Department of Defense, DISA/DITCO Europe, seeks proposals for a 10.709 GB (OTU-2) Jumbo Frame commercial lease Intra-Europe.

This RFQ must be quoted in conjunction with solicitation HC102126QA002, with both awarded to a single vendor. Quotes are due by February 2, 2026, at 9:00 AM.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a commercial lease of a 10.709 GB (OTU-2) Jumbo Frame circuit within Europe. Both RFQ HC102126QA001 and HC102126QA002 demand diverse paths to ensure network survivability. The winning vendor will be awarded both leases based on the lowest combined life cycle cost and technical acceptability. Failure to provide quotes for both requirements will result in incomplete and unawardable submissions.
