Telekom Deutschland GMBH

Telekom Deutschland GMBH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG, delivers cellular phone services and mobile telecommunications infrastructure to the U.S. Department of State as a prime contractor on a single-award indefinite delivery contract and numerous task orders issued across State Department bureaus, competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated on one customer and one geographic market. The Department of State accounts for 43 of 43 distinct customer agencies served and dominates both award count and potential value: the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs alone represents 322 awards (63% of the 511 total awards) carrying $15.2 million in combined potential value (57% of the $26.5 million total portfolio). The Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Bureau of Administration, and Bureau of Overseas Building Operations round out the active set, collectively representing another 105 awards. This concentration reflects Telekom Deutschland GMBH's role as the sole telecommunications provider for U.S. Mission Germany—the embassy in Berlin and multiple consulates—serving over 1,500 State Department personnel.

The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) valued at $6.6 million awarded by the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs on April 1, 2023, and running through March 31, 2028. This contract provides comprehensive mobile telephone services including cellular network access, mobile devices, SIM cards, and wireless plans. Task orders under this vehicle, numbered 215 against contract SGE50013D0007 and 165 against 19GE5023D0007 with combined potential value of $6.4 million, represent the bulk of recent work. All services are performed in-country with no subcontractors engaged. Representative awards include a $268 thousand delivery order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (April 2024) and a $203 thousand order from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (September 2022), both for cellular services supporting the U.S. Mission. A $142 thousand delivery order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs (April 2026) and a $136 thousand order from the same bureau (April 2025) typify the large single task orders the vendor receives.

Activity has grown modestly and recently stabilized. Awards per year climbed from 15 in 2022 to 45 in 2024, then receded to 42 in 2025 and 37 in 2026 (year to date through September). The vendor's combined potential value stands at $26.5 million, with $12.5 million obligated (47% realization). However, Telekom Deutschland GMBH faces significant recompete exposure: 37 awards carrying $436 thousand in combined potential value are scheduled for ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete risk.

The vendor's NAICS coding reflects its role as a telecommunications carrier: Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) accounts for 342 awards, and Wired Telecommunications Carriers for 166. PSC coding similarly tracks the work—Telecommunications and Transmission (222 awards), Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services (147), and Mobile Device as a Service (46). The concentration of awards and dollars on a single customer, single-award IDC vehicle, and single geographic location creates a specialized, vertically integrated posture with minimal geographic or customer diversification.
