Lightpath has secured a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) that will simplify the procurement process for federal agencies looking to take advantage of the company’s infrastructure and connectivity services.
Through the contract, Lightpath’s solutions are available through GSA eBuy. The streamlined, pre-approved procurement vehicle also makes Lightpath’s services available to state and local agencies through Cooperative Purchasing. The contract provides Federal and State, Local, and Education (SLED) agencies with predictable procurement through standardized GSA terms and pricing. Lightpath’s network offers operational reliability for essential services that require continuous uptime and secure, diverse pathways that support mission workloads and sensitive information. The company also delivers scalable capacity to support long-term modernization initiatives and accelerate connectivity upgrade timelines across government facilities, campuses, and regional operations.
“This is an important milestone for Lightpath and meaningfully expands our ability to support the mission-critical requirements of government entities,” said Doug Turtz, CRO of Lightpath. “The contract underscores our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality infrastructure and serving as a long-term partner to public-sector organizations as they modernize critical operations.”
The contract builds on Lightpath’s strong reputation as a reliable partner for the public sector, with more than 1,000 customers in education systems, municipalities, transportation agencies, and other public-sector settings where dependable, high-performance connectivity is a must. The foundation of this reputation is Lightpath’s all-fiber network spanning more than 12,100 route miles, connecting over 185+ data centers and more than 17,500 lit locations across major metro regions, including the NYC Metropolitan Area, Long Island, New Jersey, Southern Connecticut, Boston, Eastern Pennsylvania, Ashburn, Miami, Columbus and Phoenix.
“A streamlined and compliant procurement path is critical for federal, state, and local agencies,” said Anthony Rasco, Director Education and Government Sales at Lightpath. “The GSA MAS makes it easier for agencies to access our services, and positions Lightpath to support modernization initiatives with a robust, scalable network footprint.”
