The Department of State, through Acquisitions Rpso Frankfurt, has established a contract for landline telephone services to support the US Mission Germany. This five-year agreement, awarded to Deutsche Telekom Business Solutions GmbH, consists of a base year and four option years with an estimated total cost of 1.1 million dollars. The contract falls under NAICS code 517919 and was processed as a justification for other than full and open competition. The award was granted to Deutsche Telekom as the sole source capable of fulfilling critical technical requirements.

The procurement process was managed by the Department of State office in Washington, DC, with Andra Balta serving as the point of contact.
