Gary,

Verizon contractor activity categories are divvied up into a number of
specific categories, each with their own contact information.

I assume your business would be in this category:

CABLE & WIRE:  FIBER OPTIC CABLE AND JUMPERS, FAN-OUTS, SPLICING
EQUIPMENT, COPPER CABLE AND CUTTING, COPPER WIRE, CABLE/WIRE-RELATED
PRODUCTS


Does that look right? 

If not, do any of these fit the bill:


NETWORK TRANSPORT: TRANSPORT, ACCESS, CORE DATA, DIGITAL CROSS
CONNECT, VIDEO CONFERENCING, DIGITAL LOOP CARRIER, ADSL, NETWORK
ACCESS, SONET, DWDM, ASYNCS

OUTSIDE PLANT:  TOOLS, METERS, BATTERIES, POLE LINE H/W, FASTENERS,
TERMINATIONS, CROSS BOXES, PEDESTALS, STRAND/LASHING WIRE, STATION
BLOCKS, SAFETY EQUIPMENT, MANHOLE COVERS, INNERDUCT, CONDUIT, POLES,
AERIAL ENCCLOSURES, UNDERGROUND ENCLOSURES, BURIED COPPER ENCLOSURES

PLUG-INs/REPAIR:  MISC. CENTRAL OFFICE PLUG-INS, PLUG-IN REPAIR,  D4s,
DLCs, SLCs, CSU/DSU, HDSL, ISDN, SDSL, TEST SET REPAIR, REFURBISHED
PLUG-INS, T-1 NIUS, T-1 REPEATERS

POWER:  CENTRAL OFFICE POWER, ENGINEERING, INSTALLATION, OSP POWER,
UPS, UPS MAINTENANCE

CO TEST/PRODUCTS:  C.O. TEST SYSTEMS, ACCESS, OSP TEST SETS,
CONNECTORS, PROTECTORS, ESD, TEST CORDS, DSX

==============

Let me know.

Both lsit are fro equipment. I am interested in contracting or
outsourced labor services.

Hi!

It seems that Verizon has already finished vendor selections for its 
Fiber-to-the-Premises project.

http://newscenter.verizon.com/proactive/newsroom/release.vtml?id=83113&PROACTIVE_ID=cecdcccdcfcecfc9ccc5cecfcfcfc5cececcc6cbcbcacfcdcbc5cf

Vendors for equipment have been tapped, but I am looking for a way to
qualify and bid for construction/labor work related to the FTTP build
out project.
