Social Security Administration to award massive network deal
Networkworld: The Social Security Administration says it will announce in September a new award for data networking services, jumpstarting a critical IT project that has been delayed for more than a year following a successful -- but secretive -- legal protest of the original awards.
n June 2009, SSA awarded two data networking services contracts through the U.S. government telecommunications program known as Networx Universal. SSA chose Verizon Business as its primary data services provider and AT&T as its secondary carrier. A month later, failed bidder Qwest Government Services protested these awards to the General Accounting Office, which sustained the protest in October 2009.
