Bellsouth Telecommunications, LLC, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc., was awarded a $25,765.80 firm fixed-price purchase order by Army Cyber Command to provide local voice and data circuits for Fort Moore, Georgia (formerly Fort Benning). The contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, is effective through June 30, 2026. The solicitation (W91RUS25Q0017) required a facilities-based local exchange carrier certified in Georgia to deliver comprehensive telecommunications services, including 40,000 Direct-In-Dial directory numbers, 12 commercial subscriber lines, and multiple Local Exchange Digital ISDN PRI trunks to support the military installation's communications infrastructure.
As a large telecommunications provider with extensive experience serving federal agencies since its SAM.gov registration in 2002, Bellsouth Telecommunications was selected based on evaluation criteria encompassing price, technical capability, and past performance. The company's demonstrated expertise in delivering voice, data, network, and internet connectivity solutions across military installations, combined with its facilities-based carrier status in Georgia, made it well-positioned to meet the stringent technical and service restoration requirements outlined in the solicitation, which specified response timeframes ranging from 4 hours for catastrophic service outages to 2 calendar days for routine issues.
