WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- AT&T of Vienna, Va., has been awarded a contract to provide NASA's mission network around the world with necessary resources for projects and missions.

NASA said the one-year, two-month contract includes three two-year options. It has a value of approximately $87 million if all options are exercised, officials said.

"The contract is a follow-on effort for NASA's agency-wide Mission Network Services, which was awarded under the General Services Administration's Federal Technology Services 2001 contract," the space agency said. "These services are being transitioned from the GSA FTS 2001 contract to the newly awarded GSA Networx Universal contract."
