Verizon Public Sector has won three Defense Department Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions task order awards worth $966.5 million.
Verizon will provide network modernization services and technical support services to the Pentagon, the DOD National Capital Region and Fort Belvoir in Virginia.
DOD “is at the forefront of technology modernization, and we are proud that Verizon has been selected to grow our existing partnership and continue to serve as its digital transformation partner,” said Maggie Hallbach, senior vice president of public sector at Verizon.
Under the task order valued at $515.3 million, Verizon will partner with DOD to transition the entire Pentagon military and civilian population from copper-based telephony to advanced internet protocol-based services. This includes converting more than 52,000 voice lines to an integrated IP environment with optimized voice and video services.
The second award with DOD-NCR is a $432.9 million task order. Verizon will deliver core voice, transport, internet and professional services to over 370 locations within the DOD-NCR.
Finally, Verizon has been awarded an $18.3 million task order to provide communications technology infrastructure including core voice, transport, internet and managed services at Fort Belvoir.
“Building on 5G and other professional services awards Verizon secured in 2021, our team of professional and managed services experts are in lock step with DoD’s strategic priorities and we stand ready to help their leadership adapt to the increasingly sophisticated requirements and growing network infrastructure demands,” Hallbach said.
