DES has completed its contract determination for the rebid of the (Washington Wireless Contract) WWC Pooled Minutes Contract 01014 that is due to expire on November 15, 2021. Through customer feedback and data analysis, It has been determined that Verizon is the only provider offering pooled minute plans under this contract and a rebid would not be warranted. To ensure customers continue to receive discounted rates for pooled minutes, these legacy service plans under WWC 01014 will be migrated under the Wireless NASPO Master Agreement 152, Master Contract 04718. Verizon will be working on migrating these accounts in the next few months. Customers may continue to receive these discounted rates unless a qualifying change has been requested. A qualifying change such as an upgrade or a new activation would require customers to choose a plan under the NASPO Master Contract 04718. This may include promotional offers such as a bill incentive credit, etc.
Further questions regarding this determination may be directed to Team Cypress at descontractsteamcypress@des.wa.gov or (360) 407-2218.

Data Searched. The Vendor search function will only filter on Vendor Name.
Match words out of order. For example if you search for Computer Equipment it would match a row containing the words Computer and Equipment, regardless of the order or position that they appear in the table.
Partial word matching. As the contract search table provides on-the-fly filtering with immediate feedback to the user, parts of words can be matched in the result set. For example Com will match Computer.
Preserved text. The search function has the ability to search for an exact phrase by enclosing the search text in double quotes. For example "Computer Equipment" will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment. It will not match Computer IT Equipment.
Combine search types. You can also mix and match these search types. For example "Computer Equipment" Technology or "Computer Equipment", Technology will match only text which contains the phrase Computer Equipment and also matches the word Technology. It will not match a record containing only the phrase Computer Equipment or a record matching only the word Technology.
Multi-Column Sorting. You can execute multi-column sorting by holding the SHIFT key while you click the table column headings.
