Telecommunications and Network Services
Agencies can save significantly on a broad range of telecommunication services through GSA's region-specific contracts and other acquisition vehicles that offer large scale government volume pricing.
GSA can help agencies find the newest telecommunications products and services that best support their missions. Agencies should call GSA - via the phone numbers or e-mail on the upper right - to inquire about any telecommunications product or service.
Washington Interagency Telecommunications System (WITS)
Federal agency customers can enjoy significant cost savings on advanced voice, video and data services under the WITS contract. WITS currently delivers service to over 831,000 federal users. The GSA National Capital Region WITS Program and Verizon are pleased to announce that effective September 9, 2009, the cost of installing a WITS 3 Centrex-like Analog Line has been reduced from an average of $121.00 to an average of $61.10. The WITS Program estimates that this reduction will save the federal government approximately $720,000 per year.
WITS 3 has replaced WITS 2001
