Verizon yesterday announced that it's Business Network Services (VBNS) has been rated “exceptional” — the highest possible classification — for its performance across the Washington Interagency Telecommunications System (WITS) 3. Federal agencies use the grading system, known as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System to evaluate government contractors’ history of performance.
Verizon earned the latest rating for the period from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, securing the highest “exceptional” grade overall and also in every single category and sub-category. This marks the tenth year in a row Verizon has received the highest rating.
Verizon has consistently performed on its federal government contracts over these last ten years. Its consistently stellar work, underscored by its WITS 3 rating, has built on those relationships, parlaying project-based contracts into long-term engagements.
Earlier this year, Verizon announced a 10-year contract worth $147,500,000 with the United States Postal Service (USPS) that effectively positions VBNS as the USPS’ key strategic contact center and customer experience partner. Verizon also announced a 9-year expansion of its partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, valued at $448.3 M, through which the network provider will supply mobile devices and mission-critical communications systems.
