Purchase Order DOLB09E621763

This modification to contract DOLB09E621763 de-obligates excess funds of $167.94 from a monthly cellular phone service agreement, reducing the contract ceiling from its original value. The purchase order, awarded to Cellco Partnership (doing business as Verizon Wireless), was executed on December 17, 2008, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2009. The contract was funded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce responsible for administrative and management functions across federal departments. Verizon Wireless, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., provided mobile phone services for performance in Chicago, Illinois. No set-aside designation was used in this award, indicating open competition.

This contract represents a relatively modest telecommunications procurement supporting the government agency's operational communications requirements. The de-obligation of excess funds suggests contract closeout activities and final reconciliation of costs against the $2,829.21 ceiling value. As a leading provider of wireless services to federal agencies, Verizon Wireless has maintained an extensive portfolio of government contracts across civilian and defense departments, leveraging its nationwide network infrastructure to deliver mission-critical mobile communications capabilities.
