Lumen Technologies has received a potential five-year, $109.8 million contract from the Defense Information Systems Agency to continue providing operations and maintenance services for dark fiber and commercial facilities in support of Department of Defense users across the continental U.S.
The performance period of the firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract will kick off on Nov. 30 and will run through Sept. 30, 2028, according to an award notice published Thursday.
In August 2022, DISA issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source, follow-on contract to Lumen for continued operations and maintenance of the fiber infrastructure.
Under the IDIQ contract, the company will continue to provide O&M support for colocation facilities, contractor-owned buried diverse backbone fibers, end-to-end network infrastructure and custom diverse fiber access laterals and perform fiber relocations, technology refreshes and system upgrades.
