About this award
The U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) awarded a $5.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Viasat Inc. on August 22, 2024, for Phase I development of gimballess omnidirectional laser communication (OLC) labor capabilities. The contract, which is not set-aside and carries a completion date of August 21, 2026, will be performed at Viasat's facility in La Costa, California. This effort builds on SOCOM's broader strategic investment in advanced communications infrastructure, as evidenced by the agency's existing $568.7 million single-award IDIQ contract with Viasat for C5ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) capabilities support. The contract includes government property clauses under DFARS 252.245-7005, which may impact overall costs.
Viasat has engaged Trinity Wireless Solutions LLC as a subcontractor to support the program, with Trinity awarded a task on November 19, 2024, for development and delivery of a proof-of-concept omnidirectional laser communication modem. This subcontracting arrangement leverages specialized expertise in advanced optical communications technology to support SOCOM's modernization of tactical communications systems. Viasat's selection reflects its established reputation as a critical provider of satellite communications, networking, and cybersecurity solutions to defense and national security agencies, with a proven track record of delivering sophisticated communications equipment across multiple military domains.
