Comunicacion Celular S A Comcel S A

Comunicacion Celular S A Comcel S A, doing business as Comunicacion Celular S A, delivers cellular phone services, mobile devices, data plans, internet connectivity, and telecommunications equipment to U.S. federal agencies operating in Colombia as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor is a minority-owned, for-profit Colombian telecommunications company headquartered in Bogotá and registered in SAM since 2010; it competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio.

Comcel holds the position of Colombia's largest mobile network operator and has anchored its federal business on cellular and data services supporting counter-narcotics operations, security cooperation, and diplomatic missions. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrow and geographically concentrated: cellular phone lines and unlimited calling plans, mobile device procurement (iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones), monthly data packages ranging from 10 gigabytes to 30 gigabytes, broadband internet service, and virtual private network connectivity. Representative prime work includes a $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Southern Command for mobile device services and equipment (awarded April 10, 2025, performance through April 9, 2026); a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement for mobile communication services (originally awarded March 9, 2021); a $183,564.50 definitive contract with the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs for internet and virtual private network services (awarded March 10, 2022, extending through April 30, 2027); and numerous purchase orders ranging from sub-$1,000 cellular line orders to $77,056.15 for cellular phone line services supporting counter-narcotics programs.

Customer concentration in the recent portfolio is extreme. The Department of the Army Southern Command dominates with 755 awards representing $11.9 million in combined potential value; this single customer accounts for 62% of awards by count. The top five funding agencies account for 88% of award count and comprise Army Southern Command ($11.9 million), Army Materiel Command Regional Contracting Office ($980 thousand), Army Special Operations Command ($584 thousand), the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs ($942 thousand), and the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement ($1.3 million). Dollar concentration diverges sharply: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile places only seven awards but carries $5 million in potential value, anchored by the $183.564.50 internet and VPN definitive contract with estimated renewal periods. The vendor's federal footprint, while spanning 47 distinct agencies, derives material revenue from concentrated counter-narcotics and military logistics support in a single geographic theater.

Comcel places task orders under five named parent BPAs and IDCs: Blanket Purchase Agreement W913FT14A0001 (383 task orders, $1.4 million potential); Blanket Purchase Agreement W913FT11A0002 (241 task orders, $1.7 million potential); Blanket Purchase Agreement W913FT19A0001 (220 task orders, $990 thousand potential); Indefinite Delivery Contract W913FT05A2015 (154 task orders, $1.1 million potential); and Indefinite Delivery Contract W913FT08A0028 (35 task orders, $479 thousand potential). These vehicles are all Army-managed single-award instruments focused on mobile device and telecommunications procurement in theater. All work is performed in Colombia and priced on a firm-fixed-price basis.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years. The vendor recorded 47 awards in 2022, declined to 42 in 2023, dropped to 19 in 2024, recovered slightly to 24 in 2025, and stands at eight awards through April 2026. Only ten awards with a combined potential value of $380 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, placing minimal recompete pressure in the near term. Combined potential value across 1,218 awards since 2004 stands at $10.02 billion, but combined dollars obligated total only $9.4 million — a signal that this portfolio contains many low-dollar calls against high-ceiling vehicles rather than a large active obligation base. The vendor holds no subcontract positions; all work is prime.

Comcel's federal profile is purely operational and geographic: it is not a competing vendor in U.S. procurement markets for telecom services, but rather the incumbent in-country telecommunications provider serving as the sole practical vendor for mobile communications to U.S. personnel and operations in Colombia. Its market position rests on being Colombia's dominant telecom operator, not on federal contracting capability or scale.
