The U.S. Air Force awarded a $35 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Trellisware Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Viasat Inc., for the delivery of Tactical Satellite Modem (TSM) Shadow, Ghost, and Spirit radio terminal units and accessories. The contract utilizes the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III to support the development and delivery of advanced tactical communications technologies. Under this IDC, Trellisware has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $58,000 to over $2 million for the production and field service support of TSM radio units, software licenses, and related accessories. The contract supports the Air Force's mobility, reconnaissance, and transport operations and is performed at Trellisware's facilities in San Diego, California. Trellisware, a manufacturer of mobile ad hoc network radios, has an extensive track record of delivering communications equipment and services to the Department of Defense. None of the delivery orders issued under this IDC have had set-aside designations, indicating Trellisware's ability to compete as a prime contractor in open federal procurements. The $35 million IDC aligns with broader Department of Defense efforts to enhance command, control, communications, and intelligence capabilities through innovative small business technologies. Viasat, Trellisware's parent company, also holds significant IDIQ contracts with the Department of Defense for satellite communications products and services, further demonstrating its strategic importance as a critical communications provider to the federal government.
