About this award
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs awarded Inmarsat Government, Inc. a $7,595.11 firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call on December 14, 2020, for satellite communications airtime services supporting the American Embassy in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The contract, which completed on December 13, 2021, represents a task order issued under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule vehicle. Inmarsat Government, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratos Government Services, Inc. headquartered in Reston, Virginia, specializes in providing mission-critical satellite communication services including satellite phones, airtime subscriptions, and broadband connectivity to U.S. federal agencies. This award reflects the Bureau of African Affairs' reliance on commercial satellite communications infrastructure to maintain reliable connectivity at diplomatic missions in regions where terrestrial telecommunications may be limited or unreliable.
This BPA call carries no small business set-aside designation and represents one of multiple satellite communications service awards the Bureau of African Affairs has issued to Inmarsat Government for supporting West African diplomatic operations. The contractor's established federal presence across defense and civilian agencies—including the Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—demonstrates its critical role in providing global satellite communications capabilities. The modest contract value reflects the specific airtime services requirement for the Antananarivo embassy location, consistent with the State Department's broader strategy of leveraging commercial satellite solutions to enable secure, resilient communications at overseas diplomatic facilities where conventional infrastructure may be inadequate.
