Company's network strength will help transform
the investigative arm of Congress
WASHINGTON, April 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumen Technologies (NYSE:
LUMN) recently landed a $73,616,904
contract to transform the U.S. Government Accountability Office's
(GAO) network, data, voice and video connectivity so the agency can
better serve Congress and the American people.
"Lumen's network strength is helping GAO transform how it
connects and communicates using modern technology—an important move
that will help the agency make timely recommendations to Congress
that save taxpayer money and benefit the American people," said
Jason Schulman, Lumen National Vice
President of Federal Government Sales. "GAO chose Lumen to guide
the agency as it adopts, manages and leads through technology
evolutions and digital transformation."
Speed Read:
- These modern technologies powered by Lumen enable GAO to
provide Congress, the executive branch and the public with
well-timed, fact-based, non-partisan analysis and recommendations
that can improve government and save taxpayers billions of
dollars.
- Lumen is delivering secure managed network services, virtual
private network services, ethernet transport services, internet
protocol services, videoconferencing services, and voice and
toll-free services to GAO, which serves as the audit, evaluation
and investigative arm of Congress.
- This task order has a base performance period of one year, with
eight additional one-year options. It was awarded to Lumen under
the General Services Administration's Enterprise Infrastructure
Solutions (EIS) program.
The company is helping GAO embark on its journey to transform to
a contractor-owned and contractor-operated (COCO) network model
that decreases capital expenditures, increases efficiency and
improves service delivery.
Lumen delivers the secure, scalable and reliable network
infrastructure government agencies like GAO need to carry out their
important missions. GAO's purpose is to support Congress in meeting
its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the
performance and accountability of the federal government for the
