Telstra LIMITED

Telstra LIMITED, doing business as Telstra, a foreign-owned Australian telecommunications company headquartered in Murray Bridge, South Australia, operates as a prime contractor providing mobile telecommunications services and related infrastructure to U.S. federal agencies in the Asia-Pacific region, competing exclusively in full-and-open (no set-aside) procurements.

Telstra's federal footprint centers on mobile voice and data services for diplomatic and government operations. The company delivers wireless devices, mobile data plans, Wi-Fi hotspots, network infrastructure, and technical support supporting U.S. diplomatic missions and personnel across Australia and the East Asia-Pacific region. Representative work includes a $1,045,203.84 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV 19AS2022D0014) from the Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (awarded May 15, 2022, running through November 14, 2025) covering mobile services with 28 task orders worth $859 thousand; a $229,658.79 single-award IDV (C-DT IDIQ MISSION MOBILE SERVICES) from the same bureau awarded November 15, 2025 for mobile telecommunications through November 14, 2026; and a $188,816.27 single-award IDV for Mission Australia Mobile Telephone Services from the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles include a $53,590.77 mobile services order from the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (November 21, 2025, completion November 30, 2026) and a $36,574.61 DIN and voice services purchase order from the same bureau (May 6, 2026, completion May 10, 2027).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of State. The Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs leads by both volume and dollars—59 awards carrying $4.2 million in combined potential value, representing 43% of all awards and 89% of total potential value. The Department of the Navy's United States Pacific Fleet Forces places 64 awards but carries only $68 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting small individual task orders under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (N0060413A7000) with 64 task orders worth $68 thousand. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Bureau of Diplomatic Teleservices, Department of the Army, and United States Marine Corps complete the active customer set with minimal volume. Telstra has maintained an active federal contracting relationship since at least March 2017.

Telstra's work routes through three primary IDV vehicles. Beyond the two State Department IDVs noted above, the company holds IDV 19AS2020D0003 ($220 thousand combined potential value across 7 task orders), IDV 19AS2019D0010 ($166 thousand across 6 task orders), and IDV 19AS2021D0009 ($151 thousand across 5 task orders), all supporting mobile services in the Asia-Pacific region. The BPA with Navy Pacific Fleet Forces (N0060413A7000) accounts for 47% of awards by count but represents less than 2% of dollars.

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years—11 awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 1 in 2026. The combined potential value across all 136 prime awards is $4.7 million, with $2.1 million obligated (45% of potential). Five awards carrying $169 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. Telstra operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data. The vendor's NAICS footprint is entirely telecommunications—primarily Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) across the awards—with PSC coding dominated by IT and Telecom categories (Telecommunications and Transmission, Network as a Service, and Internet).
