The NAICS 5171 category encompasses wired and wireless telecommunications carriers that provide network infrastructure, transmission, and related services. These carriers operate communication networks using various technologies such as fiber optic, copper wire, and terrestrial wireless systems to transmit voice, data, and internet communications. The category includes companies that own and maintain the physical telecommunications infrastructure, provide voice and data transmission services, and offer related network management and support solutions.

The federal contract awards in this category demonstrate a robust market for telecommunications services, primarily focused on providing dedicated network circuits, Ethernet services, and communication infrastructure for military and government agencies. Contract values range from approximately $2,000 to over $1.5 million, with typical performance periods spanning 1-5 years. Frequently awarded entities include major telecommunications providers such as AT&T, Lumen Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Comcast, and GTT Global Telecom Government Services. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Department of Defense are the most prominent funding agencies, with most awards not designated for specific small business set-asides. Performance locations are predominantly international, including military bases in Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and various locations within the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities primarily seek telecommunications services for government facilities, including dedicated internet connections, SIP trunking, network infrastructure maintenance, and specialized communication services. Agencies such as the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Energy are soliciting services ranging from guest Wi-Fi for medical centers to high-bandwidth circuits for research facilities. Opportunities cover diverse requirements like establishing 100 Gbps research network circuits, maintaining telecommunications systems for military installations, and providing cellular and landline services for diplomatic missions. Performance locations span domestic and international sites, with a strong emphasis on supporting military, research, and diplomatic infrastructure.
