About the company
Pole Star Space Applications USA Inc., doing business as Pole Star Defense, is a foreign-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, that delivers Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) data services, National Automated Identification System (NAIS) cloud development and sustainment, vessel tracking and positioning, geospatial viewer development, and 24/7 technical support to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor operating entirely under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. Pole Star Space Applications USA Inc. is a subsidiary of UK-based Pole Star Space Applications LIMITED.
Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The Coast Guard accounts for 97% of recent awards (23 awards, $165.5 million combined potential value), with only two secondary customers: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (4 awards, $2.3 million) and the Army Corps of Engineers (1 award, $394 thousand). The two rankings track identically, indicating no tension between award frequency and dollar concentration — the Coast Guard is both the dominant customer by count and by value.
Pole Star holds two active IDIQs with the Coast Guard. The primary vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z02320DPR600200, valued at $36.0 million through March 29, 2028, carries 15 task orders worth $51.7 million combined potential value. The second vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z02325D76100001, carries 6 task orders worth $27.9 million. All work is performed at the contractor's St. Petersburg facility. Representative recent orders under the primary IDIQ include a $14.26 million delivery order issued July 30, 2026 (most recent award), covering maritime intelligence and vessel tracking tasks with completion July 29, 2027; a $4.22 million order awarded March 1, 2026, supporting multiple LRIT and NAIS tasks; and a $2.31 million order awarded April 9, 2025, for LRIT and NAIS cloud support. A supplementary task order valued at $2.53 million issued July 30, 2026 supports US-LRIT-NDC DC-to-DC billing services. Outside the IDIQ portfolio, Pole Star received a $394 thousand purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers on September 30, 2025, for waterborne trade and deep-draft vessel service data incorporating Automatic Identification System (AIS) geographic tracking of vessel movements to support federally-sponsored waterway system evaluations.
Award activity has remained steady at 5 awards per year across 2024, 2025, and 2026, with combined potential value of $168.2 million and $81.7 million obligated (49% realization rate). The recompete cliff is minimal — only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $16.8 million, leaving the bulk of the Coast Guard IDIQ relationship extended beyond immediate recompete pressure. The vendor's technical footprint centers on 23 awards classified under NAICS Navigational Services to Shipping, with 20 awards carrying PSC codes for IT and Telecom business application software (perpetual license software), reflecting the maritime-intelligence and cloud-sustainment character of the work.
