NAICS 517919: All Other Telecommunications
NAICS Code 517919, Other Telecommunications, covers specialized telecommunications services that fall outside standard voice, data, and wireless network operations. This includes managed network services, satellite communications support, secure communication system integration, telecom infrastructure optimization, and mission-critical connectivity solutions tailored for government environments. These services often support secure, resilient, and interoperable communications for field operations, emergency response, and remote infrastructure, particularly where commercial providers cannot meet federal security or performance requirements. The sector plays a vital role in enabling mission continuity across defense, homeland security, and public safety operations, bridging gaps between commercial telecom capabilities and classified or hardened federal needs. Top contractors in this space include Infinity Technology Services LLC, Xtreme Solutions Inc, New Wave People, Inc, High Plains Computing Inc, Active Security Consulting LLC, QRC, LLC, Loui Consulting Group, Inc., and Deloitte Consulting LLP. These firms range from small business specialists with niche technical expertise in secure comms and satellite systems to large primes offering end-to-end telecom integration and managed services. The competitive landscape is characterized by a mix of agile small businesses delivering tailored solutions and established primes providing scalable, compliant architectures under strict federal standards. Primary buyers include the Department of Defense, General Services Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Interior, Department of Agriculture, and Department of Justice. These agencies procure these services to sustain remote monitoring systems, secure field communications, emergency response networks, and rural connectivity initiatives, often in austere or high-risk environments where reliability and encryption are non-negotiable. The market is highly fragmented but opportunity-dense, with demand driven by modernization of legacy telecom infrastructure and the expansion of secure, mobile, and resilient networks. Contractors with expertise in DoD-specific communication protocols, FedRAMP-compliant platforms, and satellite-based data transmission are well-positioned to compete. A consistent trend is the shift toward managed, outcomes-based telecom contracts over point-product procurement.Show more

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
