Purchase Order 19CM8026P0123

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs awarded a $44,137.33 firm fixed-price purchase order to Cameroon Telecommunications (Camtel) on January 1, 2026, for the renewal of 101 Mbps internet deployment services at the DTO-DTSPO (Diplomatic Telecommunications Service Post Office) facility in Yaounde, Cameroon. The contract is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026, and was awarded on a full and open competitive basis with no set-aside designation. Camtel, a state-owned telecommunications company registered with the System for Award Management since November 2014, serves as a critical infrastructure provider supporting U.S. government communications operations throughout Cameroon.

This award represents a renewal of ongoing internet connectivity support that Camtel has consistently provided to the State Department and U.S. embassy operations in Cameroon. The company's contract history demonstrates its established capability in delivering dedicated internet links and fault-tolerant connectivity services with bandwidth ranging from 4 Mbps to 101 Mbps, with previous contract values typically spanning $11,000 to $161,000 across performance periods of one to five years. The renewal underscores the critical role that reliable telecommunications infrastructure plays in supporting U.S. diplomatic missions and USAID programs across the African region.
