The contract includes a base year from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with four potential 12-month option years that could extend the contract through September 30, 2030. Technical questions were originally due by July 7, 2025, at 3:00 PM CDT, but quotes are now due by August 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT following a recent amendment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications) with evaluation based on the satellite TV service subscription cost and the required Business Select package.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) with a size standard of $44 million. The incumbent contractor is identified as Skypath Satellite Systems INC under contract 36C25720P1400.

Monthly payments will be processed through the Tungsten System upon satisfactory performance and submission of properly itemized invoices. The place of performance is Temple, Texas, though the actual service delivery will occur at the three CBOC locations throughout Texas, with the contractor required to maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM).
