Verizon Public Sector has won a $15 million task order with Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) through the federal government’s Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract vehicle. Per the task order, the carrier will deliver voice and data services at domestic and international locations.
The EIS was award in two components: voice and data. More specifically, Verizon said it will incorporate new technologies and services to support advanced voice requirements, as well as modernize data services, which includes a transition from the Navy’s Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) voice platform to ethernet.
Verizon has been awarded several contracts with the U.S. federal government. Last year, for instance, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded Verizon Public Sector a total of almost $1 billion in new business, including a $28.35 million contract with the DoD that involved providing Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic with integrated voice and data services. More recently, Verizon secured a more than $2 billion, 15-year critical infrastructure contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to design, build, operate and maintain the FAA’s next-generation communications platform.
