About this award
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center awarded a delivery order valued at $1.6M to Hermtac LLC on September 27, 2024, for Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellite services with an ultimate completion date of September 26, 2025. Hermtac, a small disadvantaged, minority-owned business based in Plano, Texas, and certified in the SBA's 8(a) program, will perform the work in Cheverly, Maryland. This delivery order was issued under a larger $40M indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle that the VA Technology Acquisition Center established with Hermtac for LEO satellite services through September 2029. The contract encompasses satellite equipment, subscriptions, transmission facilities, installation, maintenance, and 24/7 monitoring and support to enable the VA to maintain critical communications capabilities for disaster recovery, emergency management, and rapid deployment across the enterprise.
The delivery order was awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation, demonstrating Hermtac's competitive positioning in the federal technology services market. This contract vehicle reflects the VA's strategy to procure fixed and mobile LEO satellite internet services from multiple commercial providers, expanding beyond the previous incumbent SpaceX contract valued at $14.4M. Hermtac's participation strengthens the VA's redundancy and resilience in satellite communications infrastructure, supporting mission-critical operational needs across the department's healthcare and administrative functions.
