About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $13.9M delivery order to Viasat Inc. under the VAST TO-04 SAND² contract vehicle on September 28, 2023, with completion scheduled for September 29, 2027. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order procures advanced satellite communications assemblies and components for the SAND² program, with work to be performed in La Costa, California. As a global communications company specializing in satellite systems and cybersecurity technologies, Viasat leverages its extensive experience supporting U.S. military and defense operations, including prior work with Special Operations Command and the Air Force under major indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicles worth over $760M combined.
The delivery order utilizes subcontractors to support manufacturing and component procurement efforts. Vanguard Ems Inc., an electronic assembly manufacturer based in Beaverton, Oregon, was subcontracted in June 2024 to produce various printed circuit board assemblies and host interface boards for the SAND² system, with a November 2024 increase in purchase order value. Redwire Space Solutions, LLC was subcontracted in May 2024 to supply specialized UHF transmission antennas designed for low-Earth-orbit space flight operations. This contract represents a non-set-aside award made through open federal competition, reflecting Viasat's established competitive position in defense communications procurement.
