The General Services Administration released the final request for proposals for vendors interested in its Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) telecommunications contract vehicle on Oct. 16.
The $50 billion vehicle — part of GSA’s Network Solutions 2020 program — is set to replace the Networx contract vehicle, which was originally set to expire in 2017 but was extended to 2020 to help with a smooth transition.
GSA expects most civilian agencies will order off the vehicle and is also making a push for more business from the Department of Defense, in particular the Defense Information Services Agency.
GSA released a draft RFP in February and originally planned to release the final version this summer. However, after extensive feedback from industry — including more than 1,600 comments — the NS2020 team delayed the final RFP in order to refine the scope and language of the solicitation.
