Digicel (Png) LIMITED

Digicel (Png) LIMITED, a Papua New Guinea–based telecommunications company, provides cellular phone services, mobile devices, wireless voice and data plans, and technical support to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor on a single indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract, competing on a full and open basis without set-aside designation.

Digicel operates as a large business with no SBA certifications. The vendor's federal footprint is highly concentrated and geographically narrow: 96% of its 121 recent awards fund State Department operations in Papua New Guinea, with the Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs alone accounting for 89 awards valued at $1.2 million in combined potential value. The remaining customer agencies—the US Embassy Port Moresby (13 awards, $50 thousand), the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (5 awards, $22 thousand), the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (6 awards, $8 thousand), and the Bureau of Consular Affairs (3 awards, $6 thousand)—represent subordinate ordering entities or secondary bureaus within State's broader Papua New Guinea footprint. USAID's Bureau for Asia and the Bureau of Consular Affairs also appear as minor funders. The vendor has generated $1.3 million in combined potential value across all awards, with $1.2 million (90%) obligated to date.

Digicel's entire prime portfolio sits on a single parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 19GE5021D0038, valued at $100,000 with a five-year ordering period running through September 24, 2026. This vehicle, awarded by the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs on September 29, 2021, generated 120 task orders as of the source date. Representative delivery orders include a $309,259 task order (September 2024) for U.S. Embassy cellular services, a $60,026 order (September 2022), and a $42,359 order (September 2026). Delivery orders range from as low as $56 to as high as approximately $309,000, reflecting variable monthly or quarterly communications requirements across multiple State Department bureaus. All work is performed in Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby), supporting diplomatic personnel and embassy operations.

Activity has contracted sharply: the vendor received 42 awards in 2022, 29 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 1 in 2026—a 97.6% decline from peak year. Only one award remains scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $42 thousand), creating immediate recompete exposure on the underlying IDV as it approaches its September 2026 expiration. Digicel operates in the wireless telecommunications carriers NAICS category (121 awards) and is primarily classified under mobile device-as-a-service PSC codes (95 awards), with secondary exposure in mobile device hardware (21 awards) and network-as-a-service contracts (2 awards). The vendor holds no subcontractor role and operates exclusively as a prime on this single vehicle. The pronounced year-over-year decline in task orders and the near-term IDV expiration signal either consolidation of State Department requirements, shift to alternative providers, or natural variation in Embassy communications demand.
