Industry Day Presentation: DES Pre-Solicitation Conference

Key Information:
- The DES pre-solicitation conference was held on July 30, 2020, with opening remarks from Ms. Debra Daniels, Vice Procurement Services Directorate.
- The purpose of the event was to provide offerors with information on program objectives, the upcoming solicitation package, statement of objectives, and scope.
- Offerors were instructed to refer only to the final RFP on https://beta.sam.gov and were advised not to contact any government personnel other than the identified contacts to avoid organizational conflict of interest.
- The DES program aims to provide a single network with a single service provider (DISA) to drive cost efficiencies, service excellence, and risk mitigation through digital transformation solutions.
- The DES acquisition involves a single award ID/IQ contract worth $11.7 billion over 10 years, with a best value trade-off source selection approach.

The presentation emphasized the importance of trust in DISA's mission-first approach and highlighted the need for DES to optimize network capabilities for fourth estate defense agencies and field activities. The acquisition process will focus on providing responsive and innovative services for DISA mission partners while leveraging commercial industry best practices. Key components such as network operations, cybersecurity support services, and technical refresh for an SSP network environment were outlined. The source selection factors will include technical/management evaluation, past performance assessment, and price/cost considerations under a best value trade-off framework.
