Agency Reconsiders Acquisition Strategy After Bid Protest

The Defense Information Systems Agency is conducting market research on its planned CommandNet migration, seeking industry feedback on the effort to move 231,000 users across 11 combatant commands to a single IT architecture by fiscal 2028. The decision to conduct market research follows a bid protest by General Dynamics Information Technology, which challenged the agency’s initial plan to award a sole-source contract to Leidos. The agency expects to complete the work by September 2028, and is seeking solutions that feature identity and access management, zero-trust cybersecurity, and infrastructure as code. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
