April 11, 2024—Lumen Technologies, a global communications services provider, on Thursday announced a $73.4 million contract to improve the functions of the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

According to the press release, the company will also furnish GAO with, “managed network services, virtual private network services, ethernet transport services, internet protocol services, videoconferencing services, and voice and toll-free services.”
The company has been granted a one-year base performance period, with eight one-year options to extend.
