Cbinet

Cbinet, a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Bujumbura, Burundi, provides dedicated internet services and data transmission infrastructure to U.S. diplomatic missions as a 100% prime contractor, competing without set-aside designations in full-and-open procurements. The vendor operates as a specialized telecommunications provider for the Department of State's overseas diplomatic facility operations.

All eleven awards in Cbinet's federal portfolio derive from a single customer family—the Department of State—with concentration split between the Bureau of African Affairs (6 awards, $428 thousand combined potential value) and the U.S. Embassy Bujumbura (2 awards, $952 thousand combined potential value), supplemented by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (2 awards, $60 thousand) and the Bureau of Information Resource Management (1 award, $83 thousand). The $1.5 million combined potential value across all awards reflects Cbinet's narrow, geographically constrained footprint; only $506 thousand has been obligated to date (33% of potential value).

Cbinet holds two primary vehicles: a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC 19GE5024D0016) valued at $701.8 thousand with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027, and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) valued at $250 thousand running through October 1, 2030. The IDC carries the larger volume—three delivery orders totaling $306.9 thousand obligated as of the most recent award (July 1, 2026). Under the IDC, Cbinet delivers annual base-year and option-year dedicated internet services to American Embassy Bujumbura; the most recent delivery order ($90,085.40) covers the period through June 30, 2027. The newer BPA, awarded October 1, 2025, establishes a five-year vehicle for residential fuel data transmission services under the Integrated Consular and Administrative Support System (ICASS) cost-sharing model, with a five-year ceiling of $250 thousand and no task orders yet issued against it.

Award activity has remained flat to declining—three awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026—with only one award ($90 thousand) facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. Cbinet's capability portfolio, grounded in six NAICS codes across Wired Telecommunications Carriers, Telecommunications Resellers, and Internet Publishing and Broadcasting, centers on internet data transmission, bandwidth provisioning, and internet connectivity solutions. Representative work includes a $126.9 thousand delivery order (July 1, 2024) for dedicated internet services to American Embassy Bujumbura during the base year, a $25 thousand purchase order (August 20, 2025) for public diplomacy section internet connectivity from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and a $34.8 thousand definitive contract (July 30, 2024) for consolidated internet services supporting public diplomacy operations. All work is performed in Burundi and serves U.S. diplomatic missions exclusively; the vendor holds no subcontract relationships and conducts no federal business outside the Burundi geographic footprint.
