About this award
Comsat, Inc., a division of Satcom Direct Communications, Inc., was awarded a contract by the Naval Special Warfare Command (a component of United States Special Operations Command) on October 14, 2014, to provide Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite subscription services. This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call, valued at $2,329.81 with a firm fixed price structure, was ultimately discontinued on June 3, 2019. The contract was awarded without any set-aside designation and was performed in San Diego, California. Comsat specializes in secure global satellite communications and connectivity solutions for government and military sectors, leveraging commercial satellite networks to deliver critical broadband and voice services to federal agencies operating in remote or austere environments.
The award represents a task order execution under Comsat's existing General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract, a common vehicle through which federal agencies procure commercial satellite services. Comsat, operating as a subsidiary of Satcom Direct Communications, Inc., has established itself as a primary provider of Inmarsat services across the Department of Defense and special operations community. The relatively modest contract value reflects the nature of BPA calls as incremental purchases against established schedules rather than comprehensive service agreements. The discontinuation of this particular service line suggests either mission-driven changes within Naval Special Warfare Command or a consolidation of satellite communications providers, a pattern consistent with broader Department of Defense initiatives to streamline communications contracting.
