Indefinite Delivery Contract W91RUS06A0007

This Indefinite Delivery Contract, awarded as a single award to Skytel Corp. (a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc.) on August 25, 2006, establishes a Blanket Purchase Agreement for the procurement of wireless voice and data communication services and equipment. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation and includes a modified period of performance through August 31, 2011. As the primary contracting vehicle, this IDV enables the Department of Defense, through Aberdeen Proving Ground and other military installations, to obtain wireless telecommunications services on an indefinite-quantity basis under pre-negotiated terms, allowing for rapid task order issuance to support dynamic operational communication requirements across multiple Defense installations.

The contract generated 21 delivery orders spanning September 2006 through June 2011, with individual task order ceiling values ranging from $0.00 to $5.5 million, collectively representing substantial telecommunications expenditures. Task orders covered diverse service requirements including monthly wireless service subscriptions (Office of the Secretary orders valued at $5.0–$5.5 million), pager leasing and numeric local service, Skytel-branded service renewals, two-way messaging plans, and wireless equipment procurement. Performance locations included major military installations such as Fort Gordon (MICC), Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Monmouth, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and Arlington headquarters facilities. The firm fixed price delivery orders supported Department of Defense communications infrastructure across Intelligence and Security Command, Air Education and Training Command, Army Sustainment Command, and Medical Command, demonstrating the contract's role as a critical enabler of Defense-wide wireless telecommunications capabilities.
