About this IDV

The federal contract IDV award is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to Iridium Satellite LLC, a for-profit manufacturer and provider of global mobile satellite communications services. The contract, valued at up to $13 billion, aims to procure emerging, commercial, worldwide, low-latency proliferated low Earth orbit (PLEO) satellite services and capabilities to support mission partners' operations.

The contract was awarded on a multiple-award basis, with a 5-year base period and one 5-year option period. Iridium, which has prior experience providing satellite communications services to the Department of Defense, was selected through a lowest price technically acceptable source selection process. The contract supports PLEO satellite services under NAICS code 517410 and PSC code D304. An initial $2,000 delivery order was issued to provide minimum guarantee satellite bandwidth services from August to September 2023, with the potential for additional task orders over the life of the contract.
