Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) recently won an approximately $110 million contract from the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide secure, mission-critical network services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Under this new contract, Lumen will operate and maintain DISA’s fiber backbone, which includes colocation facilities, dark fiber, end-to-end network infrastructure and new fiber builds. The work also includes system updates that use new technologies to improve network resilience, decrease latency and increase availability, according to Lumen.
This award is an extension of an existing network services contract DISA previously awarded to Lumen. The contract will run for five years from November 30, 2023, through September 30, 2028.
Across the U.S., Lumen provides more than 11,000 fiber miles in support of the U.S. Department of Defense Information Network.
Earlier this year, Lumen won a separate $223 million contract from DISA to provide secure, mission-critical communications services to the DoD. That contract will see Lumen supply the DISA with modern hybrid-cloud voice and audio-conferencing services that support the DoD both in the U.S. and abroad.
