Globafone Inc.

Globafone Inc., a for-profit satellite communication service provider based in North Hampton, New Hampshire, delivers Iridium satellite phones, airtime services, GPS trackers, and related off-grid communication equipment to 80 federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards). The company competes full-and-open with no characteristic set-aside posture, though it holds multiple Total Small Business designations across its delivery order portfolio and qualifies as a small business under federal definitions. Globafone has operated as a registered federal contractor since December 2001.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on satellite-based communication solutions for emergency response, field operations, and remote connectivity where terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable. Representative work includes a $161,994 purchase order from the Department of Defense Education Activity for satellite phone prepaid minutes and SIM minutes (awarded September 2023, completion September 2028); a $108,590.20 Total Small Business delivery order from the Bureau of Reclamation for mobile satellite phone services under GSA MAS (January 2022 through December 2026); a $113,048.40 purchase order from the National Nuclear Security Administration for sixty Iridium 9575 satellite phone SIM cards (May 2026, completion May 2028); and a $62,846.21 Total Small Business delivery order from the Indian Health Service for satellite phone service supporting 16 emergency-preparedness phones across Phoenix-area healthcare facilities (August 2021 through August 2026). Globafone also holds a $1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for emergency response communications equipment, service, and maintenance through February 2026.

Customer concentration is fragmented across civilian and defense agencies. The top five agencies by award count account for 25% of recent awards, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Naval Sea Systems Command (each 13 awards), followed by the Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration (7 awards), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (6 awards), and the Environmental Protection Agency (6 awards). By potential dollar value, the top five account for 27% of combined potential value, with the Department of Homeland Security US Secret Service ($1.5 million across 5 awards) and the Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command ($493 thousand across 5 awards) anchoring the dollar ranking, while NOAA and DoD Education Activity round out the high-value set. The divergence between count and dollar concentration reflects Globafone's high-volume, lower-dollar-per-order model across many small agencies, balanced against occasional larger procurements from DHS Secret Service and Army.

Globafone's primary vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, under which it places 97 task orders carrying $4.1 million in combined potential value. The company also operates under a Federal Supply Schedule (GS06T00BND0853) with 6 task orders. Nearly all awards flow through GSA MAS delivery orders rather than direct agency contracts, positioning Globafone as a standard MAS vendor accessible across the civilian and defense enterprise.

Activity has declined modestly. The vendor secured 8 awards in 2022, declining to 6 awards in 2023, 7 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 4 awards year-to-date in 2026. Sixteen awards (combined potential value $734 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure concentrated in FY 2026-2027 renewals with NOAA, Interior, and various regional field offices. Combined potential value across all 179 awards in the source data (prime and sub) stands at $9.6 million, with $5.1 million obligated (53% burn rate), reflecting typical firm fixed-price satellite service contract payment patterns spanning multi-year option periods.

Globafone operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (178 of 179 awards); the sole sub-award reflects a March 2026 satellite phone renewal role under Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC on Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support. The vendor's NAICS profile is dominated by Satellite Telecommunications (138 awards), with secondary exposure in Telecommunications Resellers (8 awards) and All Other Telecommunications (7 awards). PSC alignment centers on Telephone and Telegraph Equipment (42 awards), IT and Telecom–Telecommunications and Transmission (30 awards), and Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (22 awards), confirming tight focus on hardware and connectivity services rather than managed services or integration.
