WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has awarded
Verizon Public Sector three Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS)
task order awards worth $966.5 million. Verizon will provide network modernization services and technical support services to the Pentagon,
the DOD National Capital Region (NCR) and Fort Belvoir.
Under the Pentagon task order valued at $515.3 million, Verizon will
partner with the DOD to transition the entire Pentagon military and
civilian population from copper-based telephony to advanced internet
protocol (IP)-based services, providing a converged-enterprise
environment for the Pentagon's voice and data services. This includes converting more than 52,000 voice lines to an integrated IP
environment with optimized voice and video services.
Verizon professional services will provide the DOD with a dedicated
support team to help plan, design and implement network upgrades and
new equipment at the Pentagon.
