Technology Services Listings

The technology services listings on this site organize structured reference entries covering networking, infrastructure, security, cloud connectivity, and related professional services available across the United States. Each listing is built to support evaluation, comparison, and research — not promotion. Understanding how these listings function, how they are structured, and what data points each entry contains helps practitioners, procurement teams, and analysts extract maximum utility from this resource.


How to Use Listings Alongside Other Resources

Listings function as a companion layer to explanatory and contextual content. The how to use this technology services resource page outlines the relationship between reference content and listing entries in detail. In practice, listings answer "what is available and where" while explanatory pages answer "how does this work and what should drive selection."

For example, a procurement team researching wide-area network options would first consult the WAN services reference for framework-level detail — including regulatory alignment with standards such as NIST SP 800-53 (which governs access and connectivity controls across federal and federally connected networks) — and then turn to listings to identify providers matching specific geographic or capability criteria. The two content types reinforce each other rather than duplicate effort.

Listings are also designed to work alongside the network service provider selection criteria reference, which defines the evaluation dimensions — uptime guarantees, compliance certifications, scalability thresholds, and support tiers — that correspond directly to the data fields captured in each listing entry. Cross-referencing these two resources reduces the time required to shortlist candidates from an unstructured market.


How Listings Are Organized

Listings are grouped by service category, then filtered by geography and organization size where sufficient provider data exists. The primary classification taxonomy follows the structure below:

  1. Infrastructure and Connectivity Services — Physical and logical network infrastructure including fiber optic buildout, LAN/WAN provisioning, and data center interconnects.
  2. Managed and Outsourced Services — Ongoing operational services such as managed network services, network monitoring, managed detection and response, and full network outsourcing arrangements.
  3. Security and Compliance Services — Services oriented around perimeter defense, zero-trust architecture, and regulatory compliance, including those governed by HIPAA (45 CFR Part 164) for healthcare networks and FedRAMP authorization requirements for government-connected environments.
  4. Cloud and Virtualization Services — Cloud networking, SD-WAN, network virtualization, and multicloud connectivity services.
  5. Specialty and Vertical Services — Sector-specific offerings covering healthcare, education, government, and IoT network environments.
  6. Professional and Consulting Services — Network design, architecture planning, installation, and ongoing support and maintenance engagements.

Within each category, listings are sorted alphabetically by provider name unless a geographic filter is active, in which case proximity to the specified metro or state takes precedence. The networking services types overview page provides the authoritative definition of each category boundary used in this taxonomy.


What Each Listing Covers

Every listing entry captures a standardized set of data points to enable direct comparison across providers. The fields are drawn from procurement frameworks including those published by the General Services Administration (GSA) under its IT Schedule 70 (now consolidated into Schedule Large Category D — Information Technology) and the CompTIA Industry Advisory Council's vendor assessment guidelines.

A standard listing entry includes:

Listings do not include editorial scores, rankings, or sponsored placement. Entries that cannot be verified against at least 2 independently accessible public sources are excluded pending documentation.


Geographic Distribution

The listings database covers all 50 US states, with provider density highest in 5 metropolitan clusters: the New York–New Jersey corridor, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the Chicago metro, and the Washington DC–Northern Virginia zone. These concentrations reflect the distribution of Fortune 500 headquarters and federal agency contracting activity documented in the GSA's annual IT spend analysis.

Listings for rural and lower-density markets skew toward providers offering fiber optic networking services and wireless networking services as primary connectivity modes, since terrestrial fiber infrastructure reaches approximately 43% of rural US locations according to the Federal Communications Commission's 2023 Broadband Data Collection (FCC BDC). Service type availability in these markets differs materially from metro offerings, and the listing entries reflect those gaps rather than suppress them.

State-level filtering is available across all 6 service categories. Providers licensed or certified to operate under state-specific regulatory frameworks — such as California's CPUC General Order 133-D for telecommunications infrastructure or New York's Public Service Commission rules — are tagged accordingly, enabling procurement teams operating within those jurisdictions to filter for compliant vendors without manual cross-referencing.
