AT&T Enterprises, LLC has been awarded a contract valued at $1,291,242,179 by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), according to federal spending records published on USAspending.gov. The contract, described as "Enterprise Data Network Services Carrier B," covers carrier-based data network services for the VA.

The award underscores the scale of telecommunications and network infrastructure spending across federal health and benefits agencies, which rely on large carrier contracts to maintain secure, nationwide data connectivity for facilities, medical centers, and regional offices. Contracts of this size and duration are typically structured to support long-term network modernization and reliability requirements rather than one-time purchases.

The contract, with award ID 36C10A20F0309, was issued through the VA's Technology Acquisition Center in Austin, Texas (office code 36C10A), which handles procurement for large-scale VA technology and telecommunications requirements. Federal records show a period of performance start date of September 30, 2020. The awarding agency and sub-agency are both listed as the Department of Veterans Affairs.
