The contract is not set aside for small businesses and is associated with NAICS code 517111 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The current incumbent is AT&T, who has been selected through a sole-source justification due to existing legacy infrastructure.

Contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens and undergo Tier 3 background investigations, with the primary long-distance carrier being Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) under the GSA contract.
