Network Services 2020 (NS2020)is GSA’s strategy for the next generation of telecommunications and information technology (IT) infrastructure services. NS2020 provides a roadmap for the future of GSA’s Network Services Programs (NSP).

EIS is planned to be the new contract vehicle offering telecommunications and IT solutions.
