USAID Awards AT&T a $182 Million Task Order for Global Network Services

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded AT&T a $182 million Task Order agreement to support its domestic and international wireless and wireline connectivity needs. Under this Task Order, AT&T will continue to provide wireline voice and data services to USAID domestic locations while significantly expanding the scope of services it provides. AT&T will consolidate USAID’s disparate networks onto the company's global IP voice network and provide mission-critical connectivity in support of an additional 90 USAID international locations. The company expects to transform connectivity in USAID data centers, integrate global satellite connectivity to support communications across the globe, and provide mobile data solutions that will allow USAID personnel to establish mobile hot spots in locations where connectivity is scarce. The Task Order allows USAID to access additional advanced networking capabilities from us such as cybersecurity services, hosted voice services and high-speed cloud connectivity solutions. Work is currently underway to transition USAID to the AT&T global IP network. The transition is expected to be completed in early 2023.
