# DISA Faces Protest Over Enclave Expansion

Competitive Range Solutions filed a GAO protest on October 8, 2026, challenging the Defense Information Systems Agency’s decision to add combatant-command network migration work to Leidos’ $11 billion Defense Enclave Services contract without competition. The work supports a DoDNet migration deadline of September 30, 2028 (714 days from October 17, 2026). The protest puts DISA’s market research and acquisition planning under renewed scrutiny and could create schedule uncertainty or an opportunity for competition if the scope is revisited.

- The protest concerns a proposed expansion of Leidos’ existing contract, not a separately announced award; no outcome or revised procurement plan is specified.
- Contractors with relevant network migration capabilities should assess how a delay or potential competition could affect their plans for the combatant-command migration scope.
- DISA and incumbent or prospective contractors face a migration deadline of September 30, 2028, making timing and scope changes relevant to delivery planning.
