Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) encompasses the provision of satellite-based communication services and technologies, including satellite television, internet, voice, and data transmission. These services involve the use of ground-based stations and orbiting satellites to facilitate long-distance communication across various geographic regions. The category includes equipment manufacturing, network operations, bandwidth provisioning, and managed communication services for both commercial and government applications. Federal contract awards in this NAICS category demonstrate significant diversity, with values ranging from $500 to over $4.6 million. Key contractors include Groove Technology Solutions, DirecTV LLC, Hughes Network Systems, Satcom Direct Government, and Inmarsat Government. Frequent funding agencies include the Department of Veterans Affairs, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Defense, and Coast Guard. Awards predominantly utilize firm fixed-price contract types, with performance periods typically spanning one to five years. Many contracts are set aside for small businesses, with total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations being common. Performance locations span nationwide, with concentrations in military bases, federal facilities, and remote operational sites. Recent federal contract opportunities focus on satellite communication services for critical government missions, including tactical communications, maritime tracking, emergency response, and intelligence gathering. Solicitations cover a wide range of requirements such as satellite television services for medical facilities, voice and data transmission for contingency response teams, geospatial imagery subscriptions, and specialized satellite network orchestration. Agencies posting opportunities include the Department of the Navy, Air Force, Homeland Security, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Most opportunities are classified as unrestricted or total small business set-asides, with NAICS 517410's $44 million size standard facilitating small business participation across satellite telecommunication procurements.
