hosting service provider
WASHINGTON, DC - The General Services Administration recently agreed
to a proposal made by Qwest Communications International, Inc. (Qwest)
to modify its Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Boise contract
to offer web-hosting service to federal agencies. This contract
modification is the first instance in which a GSA local telecommunications
provider has "crossed over" to provide web-hosting service
to federal agencies.
Managed by GSA,'s Federal Technology Service (FTS), the Crossover
Program allows industry partners with GSA telecommunications contracts
(e.g., MAA contracts, FTS2001, WITS2001) to propose modifications
to their contracts that enable them to compete in other telecommunications
markets. Three types of crossover contract modifications are possible.
Type One permits an MAA contractor (a local service provider for
a designated metropolitan area) to provide service in another MAA
(local) geographic area.
Type Two permits FTS2001 contractors (long distance service providers)
to provide MAA (local) service.
Type Three permits a contractor to modify an MAA contract to provide
long distance service.
The third type of contract modification applies in this instance.
In August 2000, Qwest was awarded an MAA contract to provide local
telecommunications services to federal government agencies in Boise,
Idaho, including Ada County. The result of this recent contract
modification is that Qwest may now offer web-hosting services to
all FTS2001 (long distance) customers.
"We are pleased to see GSA industry partners availing themselves
of all opportunities available through by their contracts,"
said Ms. Sandra Bates, Commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology
Service. "Our FTS programs are designed to benefit customers
by fostering competition and by lowering prices. We anticipate the
crossover program to achieve both objectives as it continues to
develop."
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management
agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and
help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf
of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications,
information technology, supplies, and services. GSA, comprised of
14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office
operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned
and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.
