Verizon Maryland LLC

Verizon Maryland LLC, doing business as Verizon, is a for-profit telecommunications and network infrastructure provider registered with the federal government as a supplier of critical communications services. The entity is a child company of Verizon Communications Inc., one of the nation's largest telecommunications corporations, and serves as a principal vehicle for delivering comprehensive wireless voice and data services, network connectivity solutions, telecommunications infrastructure, and mobile device provisioning to federal civilian and defense agencies. Verizon Maryland LLC operates as a strategic partner across multiple federal procurement frameworks, leveraging its extensive nationwide 4G LTE and 5G network infrastructure to support mission-critical communications requirements for government operations at the federal, departmental, and installation levels.

Through past federal contract awards, Verizon Maryland LLC and its operating subsidiaries—including Cellco Partnership (doing business as Verizon Wireless), Verizon Business Network Services LLC, Verizon Washington DC Inc., Verizon New Jersey Inc., and Verizon New England Inc.—have delivered an exceptionally broad spectrum of telecommunications and network services across the federal government. These services include wireless voice and data plans, cellular phone service, mobile hotspot devices (MiFi units), broadband connectivity, Ethernet transport services, virtual private networks, unified communications solutions, network infrastructure support, and telecommunications infrastructure maintenance at federal facilities nationwide. Contract funding has been provided by major federal agencies including the Defense Information Systems Agency, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Federal Bureau of Prisons correctional institutions, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Attorney's Offices, Secret Service, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, Social Security Administration, Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, and numerous other civilian and defense agencies. The contract structure has predominantly involved Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), delivery orders, and purchase orders issued without set-aside designations through open competitive procurement processes, with firm fixed-price structures and economic price adjustment provisions for longer-term arrangements. Verizon subsidiaries have worked as prime contractors on the vast majority of awards, though some engagements have involved subcontracting relationships with larger systems integrators and defense contractors such as Leidos, Inc. Contract values have ranged from less than $1,000 for routine cellular service renewals at federal correctional facilities to multi-million-dollar delivery orders for enterprise-wide Ethernet connectivity and commercial internet services spanning multi-year performance periods.

Verizon Maryland LLC's federal grant portfolio appears to be minimal or non-existent based on the available award history, with no grants identified in the provided documentation. The entity has not received prominent federal grant awards from major grant-awarding programs such as those administered by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Education, or other traditional federal grant agencies. This absence of grant funding is consistent with Verizon's operational model as a commercial telecommunications vendor focused on federal procurement through contract vehicles rather than competitive grant mechanisms. The company's engagement with the federal government centers on providing commercial telecommunications services and infrastructure through traditional federal contracting mechanisms rather than participating in research, development, or capacity-building grant programs.

Verizon Maryland LLC holds a single major federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicle: a $125 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Information Officer awarded on January 1, 2026, and extending through June 30, 2029. This BPA is issued under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule and represents a single-award vehicle providing comprehensive wireless services and service-enabled devices to support federal agency operations. Under this master agreement, Verizon has issued or received multiple task order calls exceeding $21 million cumulatively, with initial task orders including a $2.5 million wireless services and devices call awarded to the same entity on January 1, 2026. The underlying BPA provides mobile voice and data plans, wireless network access, mobile devices including smartphones and tablets, wireless broadband connectivity, and related telecommunications products to the Department of Defense, USDA, and other federal agencies. Additionally, Verizon subsidiaries participate in the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer Wireless and Telecommunications Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle, which serves as a master contract enabling federal agencies including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Air National Guard, and various defense commands to procure wireless communication services competitively across multiple pre-qualified vendors. Verizon has received numerous delivery orders under this DOD CIO vehicle valued individually between $4,000 and $450,000, supporting wireless telecommunications requirements at military installations, defense facilities, and operational commands across the continental United States and overseas locations including Germany and Hawaii. The company also maintains task order authority under the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) master IDIQ vehicle administered through the Department of Defense, which supports telecommunications and IT infrastructure services, with Verizon Business Network Services LLC receiving delivery orders valued between $100,000 and $18.8 million for Ethernet transport services, commercial internet connectivity, and telecommunications support to DISA and Army Corps of Engineers facilities.
