Djibouti Telecom SA

Djibouti Telecom SA (doing business as Djibouti Telecom S.A.), a for-profit international telecommunications company headquartered in Troyes, France, serves as a prime contractor delivering dedicated internet connectivity, fiber optic line leasing, and telephone services to U.S. government facilities in Djibouti on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor is registered in SAM.gov since January 2016 and operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all 76 awards in the source data are prime contracts, with no subcontract work.

Djibouti Telecom's capability portfolio centers on narrow-bandwidth internet renewal subscriptions and dedicated telecommunications infrastructure at fixed U.S. government locations in the East African region. Representative work includes a $619 thousand dedicated fiber optic link lease to Chabelley Airfield awarded by Air Forces Europe and Africa (ultimate completion July 12, 2027); a $254 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Bureau of Diplomatic Teleservices for E1 telecommunications services at 300 Mbps to the U.S. Embassy and Camp Lemonnier (April 30, 2026); a $183 thousand renewal subscription from the Bureau of Information Resource Management for a 300 Mbps virtual network (July 2024 through June 2025); and multiple annual 50 Mbps and 20 Mbps ADSL and E1 internet renewal contracts ranging from $12 thousand to $44 thousand with the Bureau of African Affairs and Bureau of Diplomatic Security. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders without subcontractor involvement.

Customer concentration is acute and regional. The Department of State dominates the portfolio across three bureaus: the Bureau of African Affairs holds 36 awards valued at $1.8 million (86% of all awards by count and 27% of total dollars), the Bureau of Information Resource Management holds 8 awards for $1.2 million, and the Bureau of Diplomatic Teleservices holds 5 awards for $1.1 million. Together, State Department bureaus account for 57 of 76 awards and $4.1 million of the $6.5 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Installations Command (7 awards, $836 thousand), USAID Bureau for Management (6 awards, $435 thousand), and Air Forces Europe and Africa (2 awards, $691 thousand) complete the active customer set. All work is geographically tied to Djibouti operations.

Activity has been volatile and is declining. The vendor received 11 awards in 2022, dropped to 1 in 2023, recovered to 8 in 2024, then fell to 4 in 2025 and 1 in early 2026. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $693 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next 24 months, creating modest recompete exposure. Category concentration by NAICS skews toward Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals (27 awards) and Telecommunications Resellers (19 awards combined across two NAICS variants), with PSC coding primarily in Support—Professional Communications (23 awards) and IT and Telecom—Internet (17 awards).
