Networx Vendors Vie for OneNet Spots

Jason Miller writes on Washington Technology:

The Homeland Security Department has issued the first large-scale task order under the $48 billion Networx Universal governmentwide acquisition contract.

Through the General Services Administration’s telecommunications vehicle, DHS wants two of the three Networx vendors — Verizon Business Services, Qwest Government Services and AT&T — to establish its OneNet intranet for sensitive but unclassified information.

DHS said it will designate one winning vendor as a primary service provider and one as a secondary provider, but only one vendor will perform services in support of incident response and the network operations and security centers.
