Iridium SBD Airtime Plan A, IMEIs

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded contract A208_P4821930 to MetOcean Telematics on August 7, 2026. The contract is valued at approximately $93 and encompasses the provision of Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) airtime services. The specific line item delivers an Iridium SBD Airtime Plan A subscription for designated International Mobile Equipment Identifiers (IMEIs). Delivery is directed to Medley Kimberly at the contact number (540) 231-6054.

The contract represents a single-lot procurement of specialized satellite communication airtime services. As the prime contractor, MetOcean Telematics is responsible for activating and provisioning the Iridium SBD airtime plan for the identified equipment units. While the contract document does not explicitly specify the period of performance or detailed place of performance beyond the delivery contact in Virginia, the nature of the service—satellite-based data transmission—indicates the airtime subscription will provide communication capabilities independent of terrestrial infrastructure. The minimal contract value suggests this award may represent an initial or renewal subscription period for ongoing satellite communication services supporting Virginia Tech's operational requirements.
