Pldt Inc.

Pldt Inc., a Philippines-based telecommunications carrier headquartered in Makati, Metro Manila, provides dedicated internet gateway services, fiber optic connectivity, and telecommunications trunkline infrastructure to U.S. government agencies operating in the Philippines as a prime contractor on full-and-open, non-set-aside purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint and does not hold SBA certifications or set-aside designations.

Pldt Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on high-speed internet subscriptions (ranging from 60 Mbps to 200 Mbps), ISDN PRI digital subscriber line services, IGATE premium internet gateway accounts, and dedicated telecommunications trunklines serving U.S. diplomatic, military, and security facilities. Representative work includes a $239,238 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of State's Bureau of Information Resource Management (awarded April 2025, completion April 2027) for primary virtual network services supporting the Chancery Compound; a $230,769 definitive contract from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (awarded September 2024, base year plus four option years extending through September 2029) for 150 Mbps dedicated internet service supporting mission-critical transport streams between Washington headquarters and the Philippines transmitting station; and a $153,023 purchase order from the Department of State's Bureau of Information Resource Management (awarded April 2024, completion April 2025) for primary VNET and internet gateway services supporting U.S. military and security operations.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of State. The top five customer agencies account for 96% of combined potential value: the Department of State's Bureau of Information Resource Management leads by dollars ($392 thousand across 2 awards), followed by the Department of State's U.S. Embassy Manila by award count (12 awards, $297 thousand combined potential value). The U.S. Agency for Global Media contributes $231 thousand on a single high-value contract; the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency and the Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs round out the active set. The vendor served 7 distinct federal agencies total.

Pldt Inc. holds no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in the source data — all 22 awards are standalone purchase orders issued directly by customer agencies. Activity increased from 4 awards in 2023 to 8 awards each in 2024 and 2025, then declined to 2 awards year-to-date in 2026. Four awards (combined potential value $297 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore expose the vendor to recompete. Combined potential value across all recent awards totals $1.1 million, with $929 thousand obligated, indicating strong execution-to-ceiling performance. Work is performed entirely in the Philippines, supporting U.S. government operations at embassy facilities, military advisory group headquarters, and security agency field offices in the region.
