Note: The FTS2001 Verizon Crossover contract expired January 23, 2008. GSA invoked the Continuity of Services (COS) clause to ensure COS to customers and facilitate the transition to new contracts or services. The contract has been modified so that the COS period, which began on January 24, 2008, has been extended to January 23, 2010. However, with the exception of disconnects, no new orders can be accepted. Further, no changes can be made to types of service, customers, numbers, or equipment. Please contact the GSA POC if you have any questions.
