About Expedition Communications, LLC
Expedition Communications, LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Carlsbad, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering satellite communications infrastructure, television services, and managed connectivity to federal agencies. SBA certified as a Veteran-Owned Small Business (expires March 7, 2027), the company competes across a mixed set-aside and full-and-open posture, with roughly equal volume split between Total Small Business set-asides and non-set-aside competitive awards.
Expedition Communications operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint in the source data. The company's capability portfolio centers on satellite television services (DIRECTV and commercial broadcast), VSAT satellite data connectivity, satellite downlink equipment maintenance and repair, mobile cellular systems (FIRSTNET), and managed internet and cable account services across geographically dispersed federal facilities. Representative work includes a $2.94 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center for Veterans Affairs Knowledge Network (VAKN) satellite maintenance and repair across 200 VA medical facilities nationwide, running through December 2, 2030; a $1.43 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the U.S. Geological Survey (Department of the Interior) for VSAT satellite support services to the Advanced National Seismic System and Global Seismic Network, extending through March 31, 2030; and a $196.4 thousand purchase order from the Coast Guard's Ninth District (awarded January 1, 2025) for consolidated DIRECTV service management across 27 Great Lakes facilities through November 30, 2026.
Customer concentration sits heavily with homeland security and veteran affairs. The top five funding agencies account for 48% of award volume and 78% of combined potential value, led by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (5 awards, $3.7 million combined potential value) and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (13 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value). The two rankings reveal a structural tension: the Coast Guard drives breadth (13 orders) but the Veterans Affairs BPA anchors depth (the $2.94 million parent vehicle). The Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Navy U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic), and Defense Health Agency round out the active set. Across 27 customer agencies, Expedition Communications has served the Department of Defense (multiple installations), the Federal Aviation Administration, FEMA, the FBI, the Indian Health Service, and other civilian agencies, suggesting a broad federal footprint despite concentration in VA and Coast Guard work.
Vehicle positioning centers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where Expedition Communications holds 11 task orders valued at $1.4 million combined. The company also operates under the VA Knowledge Network Satellite Maintenance and Repairs BPA (single-award, $2.94 million ceiling through December 2, 2030), which is the primary vehicle anchoring the largest dollar exposure. Award work spans satellite NAICS categories (Satellite Telecommunications: 25 awards; Cable and Other Subscription Programming: 7 awards; All Other Telecommunications: 13 awards) and IT and Telecom service PSCs focused on network and satellite communications delivery support.
Activity has remained flat to declining: 9 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 10 in 2024, then 5 in 2025 and 2 through mid-2026. Combined potential value across all 56 awards totals $10.5 million, with $5.1 million (49%) obligated. Eight awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure concentrated in Coast Guard cable consolidation and VA satellite maintenance work.
