GTT Announces Award of Government Services Administration’s IT Schedule 70 Contract
GTT Communications, (NYSE:GTT) the leading global cloud networking provider to multinational clients, announced
today that it has been awarded an Information Technology Schedule 70 contract with the Government Services Administration. IT
Schedule 70 is the largest acquisition vehicle in the U.S. federal government, providing government agencies with direct access to
products and services from more than 5,000 industry partners.
The contract will allow federal, state, local and tribal government entities to select from GTT’s comprehensive portfolio of
Internet, wide area networking services, managed services and voice services, avoiding the traditionally lengthy service
procurement process.
The IT Schedule 70 award follows GTT’s announcement earlier this year that it had been selected to deliver its full set of
bandwidth transport solutions globally to the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) under the
Global Network Services (GNS) contract. As part of IT Schedule 70, GTT will have the opportunity to provide the same high-level,
mission-critical network services to civilian agencies that it currently provides to DISA, as well as voice services.
Agencies that purchase services from GTT will have access to its global Tier 1 IP network, spanning 250 points of presence, as
well as secure connectivity to cloud-based services and applications, through the company’s EtherCloud® wide area
network services portfolio.
