Telecommunications: GSA Faces Challenges in Planning for New Governmentwide Program
The Genera1 Services Administration (GSA) has initiated planning
for its next-generation telecommunications acquisition program,
known as Networx, which will replace the current Federal
Telecommunications System (FTS) 2001 for longdistance and
international services. It will also replace contracts for
wireless and satellite communications products and services.
Planning for this acquisition is occurring within an environment
of tremendous change--in the industry, in underlying services and
technology, and potentially in the regulatory environment. In
this context, Networx can offer a significant opportunity for the
federal government to flexibly acquire telecommunications
services at competitive rates and apply innovative solutions to
improving agency operations. At the request of the Chairman of
the House Committee on Government Reform, GAO is providing an
overview of acquisition planning steps completed to date, along
with its assessment of challenges facing GSA and federal agencies
as this acquisition proceeds.
