About this award
Comsat, Inc., a subsidiary of Satcom Direct Communications, Inc., was awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call valued at $2,279.91 for Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) commercial satellite subscription services in support of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The contract was awarded on November 25, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of June 27, 2019, and was funded by the National Security Agency (NSA), a defense agency. The service was to be performed in South Korea. This award represents a firm fixed price engagement with no set-aside provisions and was executed as a call against Comsat's existing BPA, consistent with the company's established pattern of delivering commercial satellite connectivity solutions to Department of Defense and special operations customers.
The modest contract value reflects a specific task order call for satellite broadband services rather than a comprehensive agreement. Comsat has maintained a significant presence in the federal satellite communications market through its parent company, Satcom Direct Communications, which holds major government contracts including a $241 million DISA BPA awarded in December 2023. Comsat continues to serve as both a prime contractor and subcontractor across defense and civilian agencies, providing critical satellite communication capabilities for mission-critical operations in remote and challenging environments where beyond-line-of-sight communications are essential.
