USPS Quietly Cancels 18-Year Network Outsourcing Deal

Carolyn Duffy Marsan writes on NetworkWorld:

The U.S. Postal Service has quietly terminated an 18-year, multibillion-dollar network services contract with Lockheed Martin that was to provide all of its data, voice, video and wireless services.

Dubbed Universal Computing Connectivity (UCC), the contract was awarded to Lockheed Martin with much fanfare in October 2004. UCC had an estimated value of between $3 billion and $6 billion.

USPS terminated the UCC contract in July 2006.
