About this IDV
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a single-award, total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract to Copasat, LLC for Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) bandwidth services, including all maintenance and support, for the Healy and Polar Star icebreakers. The contract, awarded September 29, 2016, established a ceiling value of $582,531.00 with a period of performance spanning September 29, 2016 through September 28, 2021. Copasat, a provider of secure satellite voice and broadband data solutions, was tasked with delivering reliable satellite communication capabilities to support the Coast Guard's polar research and Arctic operations aboard these two vessels. The contract's structure enabled the Coast Guard to procure on-demand VSAT services with integrated maintenance and operational support throughout the five-year performance period.
Four delivery orders were exercised against this indefinite delivery vehicle, with individual firm-fixed-price task orders valued between $77,446.68 and $116,506.20, totaling approximately $360,509.30 across the contract term. These delivery orders, awarded annually between September 2016 and September 2020, provided continuous VSAT communication services with performance locations in St. Petersburg, Florida and Seattle, Washington. The initial delivery order established Ku-band VSAT bandwidth services for the Polar Science Network, while subsequent option year exercises through September 2021 maintained operational continuity. Copasat executed the contract work under its Global Tactical Advanced Communication System II (GTACS II) prime Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle with the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center, leveraging that broader tactical communications framework to fulfill Coast Guard requirements.
