Purchase Order HC101322PA328

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) awarded a $2,425.47 fixed-price purchase order to Verizon Washington, DC Inc. for 3 kilohertz voice telecommunication services. The contract was awarded on June 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2027, and will be performed in Washington, DC. The award utilized no set-aside designation and incorporates an economic price adjustment mechanism to account for potential cost fluctuations over the contract term. Verizon Washington, DC Inc., a subsidiary of Verizon Maryland LLC and ultimately part of Verizon Communications Inc., is a telecommunications provider specializing in comprehensive communication solutions for federal government agencies.

This purchase order represents a continuation of DISA's ongoing telecommunications infrastructure modernization efforts and reflects the agency's reliance on commercial telecommunications carriers to support voice communications across its defense information systems. The relatively modest contract value aligns with DISA's procurement strategy of utilizing smaller, targeted purchase orders for specific service requirements. Verizon's extensive track record with DISA for similar 3 kilohertz voice telecommunications services, mobile voice circuits, and network infrastructure support demonstrates the contractor's established capability in meeting defense communication standards and requirements. The economic price adjustment provision ensures cost stability while allowing for adjustments based on agreed-upon economic indices throughout the five-year performance period.
