The Global Tactical Advanced Comms Systems (GTACS) is a multiple award, competitive Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract focused on tactical communications systems for the Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T). The contract supports the design, development, acquisition, production, deployment, operation, and maintenance of advanced communication hardware and associated services. Its broad scope encompasses satellite communications (SATCOM), network infrastructure, communication terminals, modems, and related technical support for military communications systems.

Task orders under GTACS demonstrate significant diversity, with values ranging from minimal baseline awards of $2,500 to substantial task orders exceeding $330 million. Prime contractors include Envistacom, Telecommunication Systems Inc. (TCS), Datapath Inc., L3 Technologies, General Dynamics, and Leidos. The majority of task orders are awarded by the U.S. Army, specifically through the Army Contracting Command and PEO C3T, with most utilizing firm fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures. While most task orders do not have small business set-asides, approximately 20% of awards were designated as total small business set-asides. Common performance scopes include satellite terminal sustainment, communications hardware procurement, software development, field support services, and technical upgrades for tactical communication systems, with performance locations spanning both domestic and international sites.
