About this IDV

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Knight Sky LLC, a foreign-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, to provide satellite communications solutions and services. The BPA, which utilizes the GSA IT Schedule 70 contract vehicle, has a potential total value of over $315,000 across multiple task orders awarded from 2012 to 2017. Knight Sky provides a range of satellite equipment and services, including Starlink terminals, modems, antennas, satellite phones, mobile satellite kits, airtime subscriptions, maintenance, and emergency preparedness capabilities. The company has supported various DHS components such as the Federal Protective Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Customs and Border Protection, as well as other federal agencies through the $3 billion Tactical Communications II (TACCOM II) IDIQ contract it holds a prime position on.

The original solicitation was issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the Federal Acquisition Service's IT Schedule 70 contract, which provides a streamlined procurement vehicle for general-purpose commercial IT equipment, software, and services. The BPA task orders were awarded by the DHS Office of Procurement Operations and National Protection and Programs Directorate, with firm-fixed-price and no set-asides used. The primary place of performance was Frederick, Maryland. This contracting approach allows DHS and other federal agencies to efficiently acquire a variety of satellite communications solutions and services to support their mobile and remote operations.
