The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) awarded Ultisat, Inc. doing business as Speedcast Government Division an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract valued up to $13 billion for Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Satellite-Based Services. This multiple-award IDIQ contract has a 10-year period of performance and will provide emerging, commercial, worldwide, low-latency PLEO services and capabilities to support DISA's mission partners. As the network manager for the Department of Defense, DISA relies on commercial satellite communications to connect information systems and networks globally, including in austere environments.
The initial $2,000 firm fixed price delivery order issued under this IDIQ contract represents the minimum guarantee. This task order will be performed by Ultisat at its facility in Fort Meade, Maryland from July 18 to August 17, 2023. The overall PLEO satellite services procurement is expected to utilize the NAICS code 517410 and PSC code D304. While there are no set-asides for this competitive acquisition, the multiple-award structure will allow DISA to order PLEO services and capabilities from Ultisat and other qualified vendors as needed to support mission requirements across the Defense Department.
