KT Corporation

KT Corporation, a South Korea-headquartered telecommunications infrastructure provider, operates as a prime contractor delivering leased communications services, commercial WiFi, fiber optic networks, and digital subscriber network connectivity to support U.S. military and diplomatic operations in South Korea, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across all federal work.

KT is a for-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2007, based in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The vendor's federal footprint is exclusively prime work (167 awards, 100% prime split), concentrated in NAICS categories "All Other Telecommunications" (34 awards) and "Wired Telecommunications Carriers" (9 awards), with PSC framing dominated by "Utilities—Other" (72 awards) and "IT and Telecom—Internet" (39 awards). Corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Lotte Rental Co., Ltd. and KT Corporation_Gunsan Branch. KT competes in full-and-open procurement; no set-aside categories appear across the award portfolio.

Customer concentration is pronounced and regionally coherent. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count and 95% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Cyber Command anchors the portfolio with 62 awards carrying $40.9 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army (18 awards, $19.4 million), the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (32 awards, $4.9 million), and the Department of the Army Pacific Command (25 awards, $4.3 million). All customer agencies are Department of Defense components operating in or supporting U.S. Forces Korea.

KT's vehicle position centers on two long-standing Basic Ordering Agreements and two larger IDIQs. The dominant vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract DAJB0389D0109 with the Department of the Army Cyber Command, which carries 114 task orders valued at $38.7 million combined potential value and runs through March 14, 2028. Basic Ordering Agreement W91QVN20G0001, also with Army Cyber Command, aggregates 21 task orders for $19.3 million and represents a follow-on to a prior agreement. A newer single-award BOA (W91QVN25G0001) with Army Cyber Command, awarded March 15, 2025, carries a $5.3 million ceiling through March 2028 and is consolidating future leased telecom work. Pacific Air Forces maintains a single-award IDC (W90VN722D0002) valued at $1.55 million (ultimate completion April 30, 2027) for commercial WiFi and cellular services, which has generated 8 task orders worth $1.1 million combined potential value.

Representative named work illustrates the scope and dollar scale. A January 1, 2026 delivery order from the Defense Information Systems Agency for fiber optic network services and maintenance supporting DISA operations carries a $3.89 million ceiling through December 31, 2028 and restructures monthly usage and quarterly maintenance CLINs. A January 1, 2026 Army delivery order provides leased communications support to the 1st Signal Brigade under the Army Cyber Command BOA, valued at $4.86 million through December 31, 2028, covering DOD/DID trunks, local and long-distance circuits, fiber and copper cable infrastructure, and network services ranging from 2 megabits per second to 100 gigabits per second. A June 8, 2023 Army delivery order for leased communication services extended CLIN 2001 through 2003 with full funding of $8.06 million through December 31, 2025. Smaller task orders under Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) include $219,218 for base-wide WiFi and cable services (May 1, 2025, completion April 30, 2026) and $73,606 for commercial Digital Subscriber Network services (May 1, 2025, completion April 30, 2026), both under the PACAF WiFi IDC.

Activity trajectory is declining. Awards averaged 12 per year in 2022, declined to 6 in 2023 and 4 in 2024, recovered slightly to 5 in 2025, and stand at 2 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 167 awards totals $77.4 million with $60.7 million (78%) obligated. The recompete cliff shows modest near-term pressure: five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $861 thousand. The Army Cyber Command BOA (DAJB0389D0109), which anchors 114 task orders and $38.7 million, expires March 14, 2028, lying outside the twenty-four-month window but representing the dominant recompete exposure beyond that horizon.

KT Corporation maintains no subcontract footprint in the source data; all work is performed as prime contractor. The vendor's service delivery is geographically and operationally concentrated: all place-of-performance locations are South Korea, and all customer agencies are U.S. Defense Department components supporting U.S. Forces Korea operations, reflecting KT's position as a critical local telecommunications infrastructure provider for U.S. military and diplomatic communications on the Korean peninsula.
