Lumen Technologies Government Solutions, Inc.

Lumen Technologies Government Solutions, Inc., operating as Centurylink QGS and a subsidiary of Lumen Technologies, Inc., is a large telecommunications and network infrastructure provider delivering managed internet access, dark fiber, landline telephone service, and enterprise-wide area network connectivity to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open competition—no set-aside activity characterizes the footprint.

Lumen competes in wired telecommunications carriers and telecommunications resellers space (NAICS 517311 and related codes), with service portfolio anchored in IT and telecommunications transmission (PSC classification). Recent representative work includes a $208,020.36 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Drug Enforcement Administration for dark fiber renewal (September 2024 through August 2025), a $81,243 three-year Coast Guard contract for commercial internet service at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland, Maryland supporting the International Ice Patrol (September 2022 through September 2025), and a $40,262.88 Coast Guard definitive contract for internet services supporting International Ice Patrol operations (September 2025 through September 2027).

Customer concentration spans defense and civilian agencies. The Defense Information Systems Agency anchors award volume with 286 awards worth $4 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (179 awards, $11 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (98 awards, $1 million combined potential value). When ranked by combined potential value, the Drug Enforcement Administration leads at $7.5 million across 54 awards, followed by FAA Headquarters at $4.6 million across 89 awards and DISA at $4 million across 286 awards—indicating that DISA drives volume while DEA concentrates dollars per order.

Recent activity remains sparse—one award in 2026, three in 2025, and six in 2024—with only four awards (combined potential value $506 thousand) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Lumen subcontracts to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on naval tactical pilot training program work (five sub-awards from August through September 2024), though the parent corporation holds the vast majority of activity as a prime (1,625 of 1,630 total awards).
