Virtualization Enterprise Software Solutions RFI

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), on behalf of the Department of War (DoW), issued RFI 842674441 to identify qualified vendors capable of delivering a standardized, enterprise‑scale virtualization software solution—including all sustainment, upgrade, and technical support services—under a single agreement to be executed within the next 12 months. Respondents must demonstrate a solution that supports full and para‑virtualization, live VM and storage migration, cross‑environment import/export, and a unified management plane, while detailing a phased migration from the current VMware environment, AI‑driven automation for deployment and security, and compliance with DoW regulations (including IL‑5 and SSDLC requirements). The RFI also calls for a comprehensive program approach: a capability statement covering ROI/TCO, migration strategy, training (foundational to advanced), a Center of Excellence plan, global support with U.S.‑cleared personnel, and a detailed licensing/price‑protection model (Enterprise License Agreement vs. consumption‑based). Vendors must provide a high‑level, non‑binding ROM for 700,000 subscriptions (base year plus four one‑year options) and separate migration cost estimates, list all GSA schedules or GWACs held, and submit OEM letters of authorization. Responses (max 20 pages, excluding title page, TOC, and OEM letters) are due electronically to Adam Venhaus and Christi Rhem by 10:00 AM CST on 5 May 2026; late submissions may be rejected.
