The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 517312 encompasses wireless telecommunications carriers that provide cellular and mobile communication services, excluding satellite-based providers. These carriers offer wireless voice, data, and messaging services through mobile networks, utilizing technologies such as 4G LTE and 5G. The services include mobile phone plans, mobile broadband internet access, device sales, and associated telecommunications infrastructure and support.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code primarily involve blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) and delivery orders for wireless services across various government agencies. Typical contract values range from a few thousand to over $1.2 million, with performance periods generally spanning one to five years. Frequent prime contractors include AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile, primarily awarded contracts by agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of State, and Department of Justice. The contracts consistently use the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract vehicle and are typically not set aside for small businesses. Most contract awards support mobile voice and data services, cellular devices, and wireless network access for federal agency operations.

While no specific federal contract opportunities were provided in the source document, the pattern of existing awards suggests future opportunities will likely focus on comprehensive wireless communication services. These opportunities are expected to include mobile voice and data plans, wireless device procurement, network infrastructure support, and mobile communication solutions for federal agencies. Potential solicitations would target national wireless carriers capable of providing extensive coverage, advanced mobile technologies, and robust support for government communication needs across civilian, defense, and intelligence sectors.
