Greater Southwest (7) -->

Telecommunications and Network Services

GSA manages voice and data systems for federal agencies in most government-owned and leased buildings in major cities. Advanced voice communications (dial tone) and data transmission facilities are offered on a common-user basis. Agencies can save significantly due to large scale government volume pricing. For more information, please contact GSA using the contact information provided on the upper right of this page.

Most importantly, we can help you through the maze of technical options available. GSA's Greater Southwest Region provides assisted procurement services to customers in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma, as well as Canada, Central America, and South America.

Local Telephone Services

These voice, data and video telecommunications products and services are offered through contracts - providing a full range of first mile/last mile services and solutions to fit any need. Contract categories include Local Service Acquisition (LSA) contracts for statewide or locality based services, and the Metropolitan Area Acquisitions (MAA) contracts.

GSA's Greater Southwest Region Trouble Reporting Center supports local service customers. The Center works to resolve problems associated with the local service aspects of the consolidated telephone systems managed within the Region.

Additionally, GSA Voice Mail services offer significant savings and include enhanced capabilities such as message storage and notification, facsimile mail, paging, and automatic attendant functionality.

Long Distance Telephone Services

Long distance service is provided to federal agencies and Department of Defense agencies through telecom services contracts at rates much lower than most commercial customers pay. Switched and private line service can be provided for all of your voice, data, and fax needs.

Wireless Communications Services and Solutions

GSA has awarded fully competed contracts covering a full spectrum of wireless communications solutions. Cellular phones with local, regional, national or international calling plans, paging equipment and services, as well as satellite services--all these and more are available through the GSA Wireless Store.
