MTN Government Services, Inc., a small business subsidiary, was awarded a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract by the U.S. Coast Guard valued at $5.77 million to provide Ku-Band satellite communications equipment and support for the Large Cutter Communications system. The contract, effective from September 2012 through September 2017, establishes a vehicle through which the Coast Guard can procure hardware, spare parts, warranties, and technical services necessary to maintain and expand Ku-Band satellite communication capabilities across its fleet of large cutters. Performance locations include Leesburg, Virginia; Charleston, South Carolina; and Kodiak, Alaska, with the contract designated as a Total Small Business set-aside.
The delivery orders executed under this IDV demonstrate procurements spanning multiple categories: Ku-Band production units and dual-antenna arbitrator systems for specific vessels such as the Coast Guard Cutter Alex Haley and USCGC James; spare parts kits and components including BD mute kits and replacement hardware; warranty extensions on existing systems; and technical support services. Over the contract period, the Coast Guard issued approximately 24 task orders totaling approximately $2.95 million in obligations, addressing equipment installations on Polar Security Cutter classes, National Security Cutter classes, and legacy platform vessels including Icebreakers. The firm fixed-price delivery orders reflect discrete procurements for satellite communications infrastructure improvements supporting the Coast Guard's command, control, and communications capabilities, particularly through the TISCOM (Telecommunications and Information Systems Command, Control, and Communications) program.
