Purchase Order HC101321PA024

Level 3 Communications, LLC, a subsidiary of Lumen Technologies, Inc., was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $158,560.54 by Fleet Cyber Command for the provision of 1 gigabit Ethernet telecommunications service in Beaufort, South Carolina. The contract was awarded on February 26, 2021, following a non-set-aside solicitation that was posted on February 4, 2020, with a due date of March 5, 2020. The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion on October 9, 2025. As a major federal telecommunications and network services provider with over $200 million in federal contract awards, Level 3 Communications specializes in delivering high-speed Ethernet circuits, optical transport networks, and dedicated internet access solutions to defense and civilian agencies.

This award reflects Fleet Cyber Command's reliance on established telecommunications carriers to maintain critical network infrastructure across military installations. Level 3 Communications' extensive experience providing sophisticated network connectivity solutions to the Department of Defense, through both direct contracts and task orders under larger contract vehicles such as those administered by the Defense Information Systems Agency, positions the company as a trusted provider for government telecommunications requirements. The absence of a small business set-aside designation is consistent with Level 3 Communications' status as a large, well-established telecommunications provider with a substantial federal contracting history.
