Purchase Order SE130104SE0049

Skytel Corp., a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $20,656.92 for cellular phone service to support operations in Washington, DC. The contract was awarded on October 9, 2003, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2004. As a child entity of Verizon, Skytel leveraged its parent company's extensive telecommunications infrastructure and federal contracting relationships to deliver this wireless service requirement without any noted set-aside designation.

This award represents a tactical procurement executed through Verizon's broader federal telecommunications portfolio, which includes multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts and blanket purchase agreements with defense and civilian agencies. Verizon's established General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule and specialized vehicle contracts, such as the Wireless Spiral 3 IDIQ for Department of Defense components and various agency-specific telecommunications agreements, positioned the company to efficiently fulfill federal cellular service requirements across multiple government entities and locations.
