The Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative (DoD ESI) recently released a Request for Information (RFI) for its upcoming Microsoft Unified Support (MUS) and Engineering Services in Support of Microsoft Products and Cloud Services. The purpose of this contract is to provide the DoD with Microsoft Unified Support (MUS) and additional Engineering Support (ES) for Microsoft products and cloud services. These services will be available to the DoD, Intelligence Community, and U.S. Coast Guard.
Contract Highlights:
This Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is consolidating two contract vehicles:
- DoD ESI Microsoft Enterprise Services (MES) contract, which expires on 10 January 2024 (ceiling value of nearly $1.8 billion)
- Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Microsoft Enterprise Technical Support Services II (METTS II) contract which expires on 20 December 2023 (ceiling value of nearly $2.2 billion).
