About this award
Comsat, Inc., a division of Satcom Direct Communications, Inc., was awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call valued at $10,505.60 on September 27, 2017, for Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) commercial satellite subscription services supporting BGAN/GX consolidation efforts. This firm fixed-price contract was issued by the Joint POW MIA Accounting Command, a defense agency, and was performed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The award was made without set-aside provisions under the General Services Administration's Information Technology Schedule 70 (IT-70), leveraging existing multiple award schedule contracting mechanisms to expedite procurement of critical satellite communications services. The contract's ultimate completion date was December 6, 2022.
The award reflects the ongoing federal demand for resilient, globally-accessible satellite communications capabilities to support military operations and contingency communications requirements in remote or operationally challenging environments. Comsat's delivery of commercial Inmarsat services through this BPA call demonstrates the government's reliance on commercial satellite infrastructure to maintain beyond-line-of-sight communications for defense missions. As a subsidiary of Satcom Direct Communications, Comsat leverages its parent company's extensive experience as a leading provider of satellite communications solutions across the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, including ongoing support through larger enterprise-level BPA vehicles that provide pre-negotiated pricing for multiple departments and commands.
