About this award
NASA awarded a $600k definitive contract on a time and materials basis to Union Internationale des Télécommunications (UIT), a specialized United Nations agency headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with an ultimate completion date of February 4, 2028. The contract requires UIT to record NASA satellite network filings with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in accordance with all applicable ITU rules and regulations. This award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting UIT's specialized and unique capabilities in international telecommunications regulatory processes. The place of performance is Switzerland, where UIT maintains its operations as the UN's primary entity managing satellite orbits, spectrum access, and international regulatory coordination.
UIT's federal contracting experience demonstrates its critical role in supporting U.S. government satellite coordination efforts, having previously provided similar filing and regulatory services to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through blanket purchase agreements. The organization leverages its expertise in global telecommunications regulatory frameworks to help federal agencies secure necessary orbital resources and frequency access required for satellite operations. By engaging UIT directly, NASA ensures compliance with international telecommunications standards while obtaining services that cannot feasibly be replicated by domestic contractors, given the ITU's Geneva-based regulatory authority and UIT's unique position as a UN specialized agency with direct institutional access to these processes.
