Global Enterprise Solutions, Inc.

Global Enterprise Solutions, Inc., doing business as DRS Global Enterprise Solutions Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of Italian aerospace firm Leonardo SPA, operates as a pure prime contractor delivering satellite communications capacity, space segment services, and network computing solutions to the Department of Defense and federal agencies on a full-and-open competitive basis with no set-aside utilization. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, the company competes exclusively as a prime across its federal portfolio—3,657 of 3,663 recent awards carry prime status—with 100 percent self-performance and no recorded subcontractor engagement on service-contract-inventory-reportable work.

The company's customer concentration is defense-centric and heavily skewed toward space-segment and satellite operations. The top five funding agencies by potential-value share account for 64% of recent awards, anchored by GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($53.39 billion combined potential value across 14 awards, likely driven by placeholder values on governmentwide vehicles), the Defense Information Systems Agency ($14.02 billion across 151 awards), the Department of the Army ($12.1 billion across 20 awards), the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command ($2.57 billion across 112 awards), and U.S. Special Operations Command ($2.56 billion across 105 awards). By award count, customer concentration tilts toward Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (2,555 awards, $55.1 million combined potential value) and DOD Washington Headquarters Service (168 awards, $77.5 million), though these high-volume channels carry materially lower per-award ceiling values than the DISA and SOCOM relationships. The DISA account alone represents $14.02 billion in combined potential value, reflecting the company's anchoring position on a $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded July 15, 2025, which replaces the previous DISA DITCO PLEO contract for new orders.

Vehicle position spans multiple contract types. Global Enterprise Solutions holds a $117 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with United States Air Forces in Europe (awarded July 8, 2024, through July 7, 2029), a $175 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Defense Information Systems Agency for internet platform equipment and satellite services (awarded December 19, 2023, through December 18, 2030), and a $53 million single-award BPA with the Air Force (awarded December 17, 2025, through December 16, 2030). On the multiple-award side, the company holds a position on the $13 billion DISA Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services contract and a $151 billion Missile Defense Agency Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract (awarded December 29, 2025, through December 28, 2035). IT Schedule 70 activity is substantial: 328 task orders across the parent vehicle carry $3.09 billion in combined potential value, reflecting consistent special operations command satellite communications delivery. On GSA's Multiple Award Schedule, the company issues space segment and transponded capacity calls across 14 awards. Recent representative work includes a $261 million worldwide commercial satellite communications end-to-end solution for SOCOM under IT Schedule 70 (awarded July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027), a $108 million Ku-band geostationary satellite bandwidth delivery order for the Air Force under CS3 (awarded July 19, 2024, through November 16, 2029), a $5.636 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with NASA Langley for TEMPO hosted-payload operations on Intelsat's IS-40E spacecraft (awarded October 19, 2026, through June 18, 2031), and a $5.85 million delivery order with DOD Education Activity for 250 megabits per second satellite communications capacity at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait (awarded August 6, 2024, through August 5, 2031).

Activity has grown year over year, with 31 awards in 2022 expanding to 63 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Forty-three awards (combined potential value $392.5 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent near-term recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoicing shows $92.8 million in total prime-contract revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2022 carrying $51.2 million across 15.2 FTEs, declining to $4.9 million across 7.6 FTEs in FY2024, then rising to $15.9 million across 53.3 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work run a median of $262.31 per hour, with the 90th percentile at $5,869.98 per hour, reflecting both high-touch engineering and advisory roles and lower-cost administrative labor. The company's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 16 categories priced from $58.32 per hour (program analyst journeyman, no clearance) to $231.60 per hour (subject matter expert level 4, doctorate), with no security-cleared offerings visible in the GSA rate card. The contractor operates as a pure prime on SCI-reportable services, recording zero subcontractor hours across all invoiced federal service contracts in the dataset. Teaming relationships surface only in award narratives citing partnerships with Intelsat, OneWeb, Peraton, and Viasat for satellite bandwidth procurement and ground equipment delivery—roles consistent with satellite operator and integrator partnerships rather than traditional subcontract relationships managed under Global Enterprise Solutions' prime authority.

Global Enterprise Solutions' capability footprint centers on X-band, Ku-band, spot beam, and widebeam transponded satellite capacity procurement and delivery, space segment services, managed broadband platform support, and satellite communications infrastructure sustainment across defense agencies. The company competes exclusively full-and-open, holds no SBA certifications or set-aside designations, and maintains 100 percent prime-contract posture across its federal footprint. With $132.86 billion in combined potential value across 3,663 awards and $53.39 billion tied to GSA Federal Acquisition Service vehicles alone, Global Enterprise Solutions has established itself as a critical prime for satellite communications procurement across the Defense Department, Special Operations Command, and civilian federal agencies seeking commercial SATCOM capacity at scale.
