Second Networx Award Slated for Thursday

The General Services Administration plans to hold a press conference Thursday to announce the second and final governmentwide Networx contract, known as Enterprise.

According to a media advisory sent Monday morning, GSA Administrator Lurita Doan and John Johnson, the Federal Acquisition Service’s assistant commissioner for integrated technology services, will discuss award and program specifics at GSA's central office in Washington, D.C., at 10:30 a.m.

Networx is the largest federal telecommunications acquisition and is the third in a series of programs GSA developed in partnership with other federal agencies. The Networx program consists of the Enterprise contract (worth an estimated $20.1 billion) and the much larger Networx Universal contract (worth an estimated $48.1 billion), which was awarded in March.
