Warid Telecom

Warid Telecom, doing business as Warid Telecom, is a foreign owned, for profit telecommunications company that provides cellular phone services to U.S. federal government agencies. Through past federal contract awards, Warid Telecom has provided cellular phone services in Pakistan in support of programs run by the Department of State's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.

The available contract award history shows that since 2019, Warid Telecom has been repeatedly awarded federal delivery orders to supply cellular phone services for Bureau regional initiatives. Specifically, Warid Telecom has received over $3 million in delivery orders as the prime contractor from 2019-2021 to furnish cellular services for the Bureau's diplomatic and development activities in Pakistan. The orders were issued against the Bureau's indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle for telephone services using a firm fixed price structure without any set aside designations. Based on the descriptions, Warid Telecom is directly providing the requested cellular phone support as the prime contractor, with no major subcontractors indicated. These services likely involve supplying Bureau personnel in Pakistan with mobile devices and network connectivity to facilitate the Department's foreign policy and engagement goals with countries in South and Central Asia.
