Qwest Wins Veterans Affairs (VA) VPN Contract

Qwest Communications was awarded a $60 million contract by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to serve as its contractor for the delivery of voice and data services connecting the VA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., and nearly 1,300 hospitals, regional offices and other facilities across the nation. Qwest will deliver the services under the federal Networx Universal contract, which is part of Networx, the largest government communications procurement program in the world.
Also, the VA is permitted to order additional voice and data services from Qwest that could increase the value of the 10-year agreement.http://www.qwest.com
