Telstra LIMITED

Telstra LIMITED, doing business as Telstra, is a foreign-owned Australian telecommunications company providing mobile services, wireless data plans, PBX telephone systems, DIN (Diplomatic Information Network) services, and related infrastructure to U.S. federal agencies as a prime contractor operating in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. Headquartered in Murray Bridge, South Australia, Telstra operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across 138 federal awards with a combined potential value of $4.7 million and $2.1 million in obligated dollars as of August 2026.

The Department of State dominates Telstra's federal customer base, accounting for 98 percent of combined potential value across three principal bureaus. The Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs anchors the portfolio with 61 awards worth $4.3 million combined potential value, reflecting Telstra's role as the incumbent provider of mobile telecommunications to U.S. diplomatic missions and government operations throughout the East Asia-Pacific region. The Bureau of Diplomatic Teleservices holds 2 awards valued at $188 thousand, and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security holds 4 awards valued at $55 thousand. The Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces places volume through a Navy blanket purchase agreement (64 task orders valued at $68 thousand), while the Department of the Army, United States Marine Corps, and Department of Homeland Security contribute minor volumes.

Telstra's primary vehicle footprint centers on State Department indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest parent vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 19AS2022D0014, a multiple-award IDV with a stated ceiling of $914,967,596.81 and a contract vehicle ceiling of $1.045 million, from which Telstra has placed 28 task orders worth $859 thousand combined potential value. Three additional State Department IDVs (19AS2020D0003, 19AS2019D0010, and 19AS2026D0002) collectively account for 19 task orders valued at $574 thousand. A single-award IDV awarded November 15, 2025, designated C-DT IDIQ MISSION MOBILE SERVICES, carries a ceiling of $229,658.79 and runs through November 14, 2026. The Navy blanket purchase agreement N0060413A7000 funds 64 small-value task orders for Wi-Fi and mobile data services totaling $68 thousand.

Representative work includes six delivery orders from the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs issued between November 2025 and August 2026 for mobile telecommunications services in Australia, ranging from $14,263.43 to $53,590.77 per order, and a $36,574.61 purchase order for DIN and voice services awarded May 6, 2026, also to the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. A $28,359.80 purchase order from Army Pacific Command (now Department of the Army) in July 2023 provided Wi-Fi pucks and data service, and a $68,516.03 purchase order from the Department of the Army in June 2023 covered telecommunications equipment and data plans for the 196th unit. Telstra also delivered a $20,233.26 delivery order for S-ICASS (International Cooperative Administrative Support Services) mobile phone services to the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in May 2024.

Activity volume has remained relatively stable, averaging nine awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with 11 awards in both 2022 and 2025, and 8 in 2024. Eight awards with a combined potential value of $242 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Telstra competes under primary NAICS codes for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite) across 119 of 138 awards and under PSC codes for IT and Telecom Telecommunications and Transmission (53 awards) and IT and Telecom Network as a Service (41 awards), reflecting the vendor's pure-play position as an in-region telecommunications infrastructure provider rather than as a systems integrator or consulting services firm.
