About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $471.3 million definitive contract to Peraton Inc. for Low-Earth Orbit Ground Sustainment Services (LGSS) supporting the Joint Polar Satellite System Common Ground System on March 1, 2023, with ultimate completion February 16, 2031.
The contract operates under cost-plus-award-fee pricing. Work is performed at Peraton's Herndon, Virginia facility. The originating solicitation calls for sustained operations, maintenance, and engineering support for NOAA's JPSS Common Ground System, along with accommodation of enhancements and additions to the agency's Low-Earth Orbit satellite constellations and partner missions. The contract assumes responsibility for the CGS following its initial development and multiple re-architecting increments under prior efforts.
Peraton's position as a large federal systems integrator and IT services provider anchors prime delivery across the contract. NOAA designated no small business set-aside on this award; Peraton competes full-and-open as an established defense and civilian contractor without SBA certifications. The awardee subcontracts extensively: named subcontractors include Sterling Computers Corporation (women-owned small business; IT hardware and software procurement), Carahsoft Technology Corp (software licensing and commercial IT distribution), Trace3 Government LLC (IT infrastructure and cloud services), Thundercat Technology LLC (SDVOSB; software and IT hardware), and a multi-vendor team of IT, communications, and component suppliers including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle America, Mythics LLC, CPI Satcom & Antenna Technologies, Datacom Advanced Technologies (L3Harris subsidiary), and specialized providers across software maintenance, telecommunications equipment, and ground station support.
Across Service Contract Inventory reporting (FY2023–FY2025), the contract invoiced $69.8 million in government-paid labor: $10.4 million in FY2023 (46.8 FTEs), $26.8 million in FY2024 (151 FTEs), and $32.6 million in FY2025 (182 FTEs). Derived government-paid hourly rates declined from $106.99/hr in FY2023 to approximately $85–$86/hr in FY2024–FY2025, reflecting labor-mix shifts across a growing team. In FY2025, subcontractors performed 27 percent of total contractor hours (9 named subs engaged), indicating Peraton's reliance on a tiered vendor ecosystem for specialized IT, communications, and infrastructure delivery rather than pure internal delivery.
