CTE Telecom Personal S.A. De C.V.

CTE Telecom Personal S.A. De C.V., a for-profit telecommunications services provider headquartered in San Salvador, El Salvador, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering cellular service, dedicated internet connectivity, and network infrastructure to U.S. government agencies operating in El Salvador. The vendor competes full-and-open with no small business set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

CTE Telecom Personal's customer base concentrates entirely within the Department of State and one Department of Homeland Security sub-agency. The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement accounts for 13 awards and $326 thousand in combined potential value—45% of the vendor's total portfolio. The U.S. Embassy San Salvador holds 4 awards worth $140 thousand, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs holds 7 awards worth $130 thousand, and the Bureau of Information Resource Management holds 4 awards worth $113 thousand. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed one award worth $11 thousand. Together, these five customers account for 100% of recent awards. The vendor has been registered in SAM since January 2017 and holds active registration through March 2026.

Recent representative work spans cellular service, dedicated internet, and network infrastructure. CTE Telecom Personal delivered a $27.9 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order issued March 20, 2026, to the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement for dedicated internet services supporting the International Law Enforcement Academy San Salvador facility, providing 2,000 Mbps symmetric bandwidth over redundant fiber optic routes with 24/7 support and a 99.9% uptime SLA through December 31, 2026. A $20.2 thousand cellphone services purchase order to the U.S. Embassy San Salvador, awarded September 2, 2025, runs through October 31, 2026. CTE Telecom Personal also holds a $65.3 thousand renewal contract with the U.S. Embassy San Salvador for landline telecom service awarded October 29, 2021, with completion through April 30, 2025—the vendor's largest single award.

Activity has been episodic: six awards in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 29 awards is $720 thousand, with $696 thousand obligated (97% of potential value). Three awards worth $82 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The vendor's primary NAICS concentration is Telecommunications Resellers (15 of 29 awards), with secondary depth in Internet Publishing and Broadcasting. All work is performance-based in El Salvador supporting U.S. diplomatic and law enforcement operations in the region.
