About this award
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract to KVH Industries Inc. valued at $6.8 million for V7 and V7-HTS Ku-band satellite airtime, warranty, and support services across a variety of Coast Guard cutters and assets. The contract, which was awarded on March 31, 2021, and completed on October 31, 2021, represents a direct engagement with KVH to maintain critical satellite communication capabilities for the service branch's fleet operations. This award reflects no small business set-aside designation and was funded directly by the Coast Guard as a civilian agency. KVH Industries, headquartered in Middletown, Rhode Island, is a global technology company specializing in mobile connectivity and maritime communication solutions with extensive experience serving naval and maritime-focused government agencies.
This contract represents part of KVH's broader strategic relationship with the Coast Guard, which later expanded into a more substantial $69 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded in September 2022. The earlier definitive contract provided essential Ku-band satellite services and technical support that demonstrated KVH's capability to sustain remote connectivity for mission-critical Coast Guard operations. These contracts underscore the importance of reliable satellite communication infrastructure for the Coast Guard's ability to maintain access to its CGOne data network and execute maritime operations nationwide, particularly for smaller cutters and deployable assets that require persistent remote connectivity regardless of location.
