Networx Transition

Program Overview

In January 2007, the FTS2001 contract used by HHS for most of its telecommunications voice, video, and data services came to an end. A 42 month bridge contract has been put into place by GSA to allow for planning and execution of a transition from FTS2001 to its replacement contract, NETWORX. The OCIO is managing the agencies transition to NETWORX and participates in the GSA Transition Working Group, Security Working Group and OPS Working Group. Mr. Gary Wall in the OCIO office serves as the HHS Transition Manager and chairs the HHS Telecommunications Council which will serve as the HHS Transition Team.

Transition is expected to take approximately 3 years from the date of the NETWORX contract award, and will result in nearly 150 million dollars of yearly HHS revenue moving from FTS2001 to NETWORX.
