About this award
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs awarded a $1,764 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call to Bushtex Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Gilbert, Arizona, for satellite communication equipment and airtime services. The contract, issued on August 9, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 8, 2025, represents a firm fixed-price delivery order under an existing BPA vehicle. Bushtex holds multiple Small Business Administration certifications, including Woman-Owned Small Business and Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business status, and specializes in providing comprehensive satellite communications solutions to federal agencies, including Ku-band and C-band satellite space segment procurement, satellite phone services, equipment leasing, and technical field support.
This award reflects Bushtex's established role as a strategic satellite communications provider across the State Department's regional bureaus and other federal agencies. The company maintains substantial indefinite delivery vehicles, including a $4.5 million BPA with the Bureau of Information Resource Management for the SATCOM REACH program and a $10.8 million BPA with the Bureau of Information Resource Management effective through September 2026. Beyond the State Department, Bushtex supports emergency management through contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and serves as a subcontractor to major defense contractors. No set-aside designation was used for this particular award, though many of the company's prime contracts are designated as small business set-asides, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting small business participation in federal satellite communications procurement.
