About this award
U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded a purchase order to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. for Starshield service tokens valued at $1.5 million on September 30, 2026. The acquisition is sole-source, justified by constellation compatibility requirements specific to CBP's integrated aircraft antennas and terminals; CBP tested alternative PLEO providers between March 2025 and September 2026 and determined no alternate provider can ensure data lands at a CONUS location as required for operations.
The order covers sixty Starshield service tokens, each expiring twenty-four months after delivery, supporting CBP Air and Marine Operations manned aircraft performing beyond-line-of-sight command and control, data reception, and voice communications within the 48 contiguous United States, coastal waters, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and eastern Pacific regions. Place of performance is Hawthorne, California. The firm fixed price purchase order is funded from Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Support appropriations under FAR 12.201-1 commercial procedures. Period of performance extends through September 29, 2028.
