U.S. Department of Defense awards Verizon Business with contract extension
November 11 2024 - 8:00AM
Verizon today announced a 24-month task order extension for its
Global Network Solutions (GNS) contract with the Department of
Defense (DoD). With this extension, the total revenue for the GNS
contract, originally awarded in 2016, will now amount to over $98
million.
The purpose of the extension is to create a point-to-point
connection within Southwest Asia that provides critical network
communications capabilities for the U.S. government. The scope of
work aligns with DoD CIO mandates for the elimination of time
division multiplexing (TDM), an exercise Verizon is performing
across multiple federal agencies.
“Verizon’s role in delivering a secure, point-to-point
connection in the specified area highlights the Department of
Defense’s continued confidence in our ability to provide critical
network communications in strategic regions,” said David Rouse,
head of Verizon’s defense business.
Verizon’s ongoing partnership with the DoD is extensive,
including a 10-year, multi-award $2.67 billion U.S. Navy contract,
three separate EIS awards valued at nearly $1 billion, that
included an overhaul of the Pentagon’s network, and another
$15 million EIS task order where Verizon Business will provide the
U.S. Navy with voice and data services at domestic and
international locations.
The multiple-award GNS contract is scheduled to be recompeted
and awarded by 2026.
