Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) encompasses the provision of satellite-based communication services and infrastructure, including satellite signal transmission, reception, and related network management. This category covers companies that operate satellite networks, provide satellite bandwidth, offer satellite-based internet and communication services, and deliver specialized satellite data transmission solutions. The services range from global positioning and maritime tracking to emergency communications, military intelligence gathering, and research support across various industries. Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with contracts typically ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 and spanning one to five years. Frequent awardees include specialized satellite communication firms like KVH Industries, Planet Labs Federal, Inc., Spire Global, Woods Hole Group, and L3 Harris Technologies. The Department of Defense, particularly Naval Information Warfare Command, Department of Homeland Security, and NASA emerge as primary funding agencies. Many awards are unrestricted or designated as small business set-asides, with performance locations spanning domestic military bases, research facilities, and remote operational sites. Contracts frequently involve satellite imagery, vessel tracking, emergency communications, and specialized data transmission services. Recent federal contract opportunities focus on sophisticated satellite communication requirements across multiple domains. The U.S. Space Force, Department of the Navy, and Federal Emergency Management Agency have solicited services including maritime tracking, emergency response communications, tactical information systems, and global satellite network orchestration. Specific requirements include L-band and UHF satellite bandwidth services, geosynchronous orbit satellite communications, vessel detection systems, and specialized satellite data feeds supporting military, research, and emergency management operations. Performance locations include domestic military installations, international research sites, and maritime environments, with most opportunities seeking advanced, secure, and flexible satellite communication infrastructure.
