Description
To all Interested Vendors: This notice is issued to inform interested parties of the upcoming Big Blue 4 procurement. A key requirement for this procurement will be the possession of a valid and certified DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement. This certification is mandatory for any vendor wishing to access key RFP information upon its future release.
If your organization does not currently possess an active certification, you must submit your application directly to the Joint Certification Program (JCP). JCP website and process information can be found at: dla.mil/logistics-operations/se....
Processing times can vary; do not delay. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to review these documents and begin the certification process immediately to ensure they meet the requirements by the time the RFP is issued. Failure to possess a valid DD Form 2345 certification will preclude access to solicitation documents.
DO NOT submit completed DD Form 2345 packages to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer from this notice. This is an information-only notice to allow vendors to prepare independently. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP).
The Government is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept or evaluate any submissions sent in response to this notice. Please reference attachment: BB4 Pre-Sol Additional Info and Requirements for additional procurement information. A previous special notice of BB4 industry day was posted on SAM back in March 2026, Notice ID PD-25-0222.
