GSA Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS)
EIS is GSA's successor to Networx and other legacy telecom vehicles, consolidating federal network and communications services procurement into a single long-running contract with a long transition tail.
- Managed by
- General Services Administration
- Ceiling
- $50B ceiling
- Scope
- Network and telecommunications services including managed network, voice, and cybersecurity services for federal agencies transitioning off legacy contracts
- Period of performance

Key takeaways
- Vehicle access is a market position, not a contract — task orders are where revenue happens.
- Read the ordering guide before bidding a task order; format and evaluation rules differ from open-market RFPs.
- Fair-opportunity task orders move fast, often with 10 to 15 day response windows.
- Track on-ramp windows well in advance; they open rarely and close quickly.
How work is ordered
Agencies issue task orders to EIS holders for network services, often multi-year managed service agreements requiring significant transition planning from legacy contracts.
Getting on the vehicle
The vendor pool was fixed at initial award among major telecommunications carriers and integrators; there is no standing small-business on-ramp given the scale of underlying network infrastructure required.
Winning task orders
Small and mid-size firms typically participate as subcontractors supporting prime EIS holders on integration, cybersecurity, or managed service delivery rather than pursuing prime status directly.
