"Sprint has enjoyed an 18-year relationship with its government customers," the spokeswoman added. A decision on whether to file a bid protest will be made after that meeting, she said. The company's federal branch serves the Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Interior departments, and the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.Ī Sprint spokeswoman said the company was disappointed not to receive a portion of Networx Universal, and will request a debriefing from GSA next week. Sprint, which currently supplies about 30 percent of all government telecommunications services, was shut out of the new contract. Networx Universal will provide voice, IP, wireless, satellite and IP-centric services to 135 federal agencies at locations spanning 191 countries, and is expected to transform the current federal telecommunications system. "I look forward to working with our new industry partners to provide the best possible service and value to our customer agencies and the American taxpayer." "Award of the Networx Universal contracts is a historic moment at GSA, and reflects our goal of providing transformational products and services to our federal customers at the best prices available in the marketplace," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. The General Services Administration on Thursday announced the next generation of government telecommunications providers, with the awards of Networx Universal contracts to AT&T Government Solutions, Verizon Business Services and Qwest Government Services.
