The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs awarded a $1.2 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Orange Burkina Faso SA, a subsidiary of the multinational telecommunications company Orange, to provide mobile phone services in Burkina Faso. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security is a major customer under this IDC, issuing multiple firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from $200,000 to over $500,000 per year to procure mobile voice and data services for U.S. government personnel and operations in the region. Other State Department entities like the Bureaus of African Affairs and Information Resource Management may also leverage this IDC to fulfill mobile service requirements. The underlying IDC was competitively awarded through full and open procedures, with no set-aside designations specified. Task orders issued against the IDC provide cellular phone services, wireless network access, and related telecommunications support to enable the State Department's diplomatic and development efforts in Burkina Faso. Additionally, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security has awarded Orange Burkina Faso SA several standalone firm fixed price delivery orders under the IDC vehicle, ranging from $219,000 to $400,000 annually, to provide mobile phone services directly supporting the Bureau's operations and personnel in Burkina Faso. These task orders, awarded between 2019 and 2024, do not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides and have completion dates through March 2025.
