GSA Considers Barring Qwest from Federal Contracts

The General Services Administration (GSA) is considering whether to debar Qwest Communications from U.S. federal government contracts. The basis for the action is last February's indictment against four former employees in connection with a transaction with the Arizona School Facilities Board in June 2001 and a civil complaint filed the same day by the Securities and Exchange Commission against the same former employees and others. Qwest said it was cooperating with the process and believes that it will remain a supplier to the government, although it cannot predict the outcome of this referral.
