About this opportunity
The Department of State, US Embassy Kathmandu, issued this response to queries regarding mobile telecommunications services for the U.S. Mission in Nepal, with a query response deadline of May 11, 2026. The primary contractor must be a licensed mobile telecommunications service provider authorized by the Nepal Telecommunications Authority and capable of delivering services within Nepal; offerors may propose teaming arrangements, but the prime must meet this licensing requirement. The requirement covers Physical SIM/eSIM provisioning, network access, voice, data, and SMS services. The current contractor is Ncell Axiata Limited under the previous purchase order valued at approximately NPR 489,000 annually, though quantities differ under the new solicitation. The solicitation is anticipated to post on SAM.gov around early April 2026 with an expected award date toward the end of May 2026 and contract start date of August 17, 2026. A site visit is scheduled for the second week of April. Contractors are not required to maintain full-time on-site staffing at the U.S. Mission but must provide appropriate account management and customer support. Mandatory requirements include C-SCRM completion and, where applicable, VAT as a separate line item on the SF-1449. Sister agencies named in the Performance Work Statement will be included under the same Closed User Group despite separate contracts. Funds have been appropriated for this opportunity.
