Bellsouth Telecommunications, LLC

Bellsouth Telecommunications, LLC At&T Southeast Division, doing business as At&T North Carolina, is a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. that provides wired telecommunications services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open basis, with no SBA set-aside posture. The company delivers local exchange carrier (LEC) services, voice and data circuits, DSL and broadband connectivity, fiber optic installation, and telecommunications maintenance support to military installations, federal correctional facilities, civilian agencies, and law enforcement across the southeastern United States, with performance primarily based in Atlanta, Georgia and subordinate locations nationwide.

Bellsouth operates as a large business with established federal contracting presence dating to 2002. The company's concrete capability set centers on recurring telecommunications infrastructure: local and long-distance telephone service (including direct inward dial numbers, commercial subscriber lines, ISDN PRI trunks, and E911/E-911 services), T1 and T-11 line leases, VLAN connectivity for security systems, voice-over-IP trunking (SIP conversion), fiber optic line installation, and 24/7 network maintenance with tiered response times for service restoration (four hours for catastrophic outages to two calendar days for routine issues). Representative prime work includes a $630 thousand purchase order from Naval Computer and Telecommunications for telecommunications maintenance support at Naval Air Station Pensacola through September 2026, a $556.8 thousand contract from the Department of Defense Southeast Region for 911 call handling system upgrades to VIPER 7 technology running through July 2029, a $435.2 thousand definitive contract with Army Cyber Command for local exchange services at Fort Polk, Louisiana, and a $420.1 thousand purchase order from the Federal Bureau of Prisons for wired telecommunications services at Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City.

Customer concentration is broad across 189 agencies but anchored in defense and law enforcement. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 leads by potential value (66 awards, $35.7 million), followed by Naval Computer and Telecommunications (80 awards, $25.3 million) and Army Cyber Command (46 awards, $11.4 million). By award count, the Defense Information Systems Agency dominates (377 awards, $5.8 million), reflecting high-volume transactional procurement. This divergence signals that Bellsouth holds substantial but small-dollar recurring service contracts with DISA while anchoring larger infrastructure projects with Navy and Army installations. The top five funding sources account for 28 percent of awards and span defense, Veterans Affairs, law enforcement (Drug Enforcement Administration), and civilian transportation agencies (Federal Aviation Administration).

Bellsouth places work under five primary parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract DCA20002H0517 (236 task orders), DCA20096H0069 (116 task orders), VA247P0014 (75 task orders, $36 million combined potential value), HC101304H0583 (74 task orders), and GSA Schedule GS04T06BFD1600 (67 task orders, $15.4 million). This vehicle roster reflects positioning across DISA, VA, and GSA procurement channels. Bellsouth's NAICS profile is concentrated in Wired Telecommunications Carriers (primary classification), with secondary exposure in wireless carriers and telecom network management; PSC coding aligns with IT and telecom telecommunications transmission (1,538 awards) and telecom network management (269 awards).

Recent activity shows moderate volume: 32 awards in 2024, 21 in 2025, and 5 through April 2026 in the source snapshot. Combined potential value across all 3,839 awards (prime and sub) is $1.17 billion, with obligated dollars at $342.4 million (29 percent of potential). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is limited (11 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), indicating stable incumbency across most of Bellsouth's federal telecommunications contracts. The vendor acts as prime on essentially all awards (3,823 of 3,839); subcontract footprint is minimal (16 sub-awards), including a technology services sub position under General Dynamics Information Technology and multiple last-mile internet broadband grant sub-awards with Mississippi Department of Finance & Administration and state departments in Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina.
