North Star Communications, Inc.

North Star Communications, Inc., based in Broad Run, Virginia, operates as a for-profit communications equipment and maintenance services provider delivering high-frequency radio systems, satellite phone infrastructure, antenna installation, and related communications infrastructure support exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) to federal civilian and defense agencies under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

North Star's customer footprint spans 37 federal agencies with concentration in civilian communications infrastructure. The top five customer sub-offices by award count account for 31% of awards, led by the Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary (10 awards, $500 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing (7 awards, $189 thousand), the Department of Agriculture Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination (6 awards, $437 thousand), the Department of Education Office of the Chief Financial Officer (6 awards, $91 thousand), and the Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Information Officer (5 awards, $44 thousand). By potential value, the top five sub-offices cover 52% of dollars, with the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Headquarters ($795 thousand across 3 awards) anchoring the list, followed by Army Headquarters ($500 thousand), USDA Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination ($437 thousand), Treasury Departmental Offices ($366 thousand), and Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing ($189 thousand). Representative work includes a $132.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 1, 2026 (and extending through February 2031) from USDA for high-frequency automatic link establishment radio system testing, maintenance, and training support; a $99.4 thousand purchase order from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for HF-ALE radio services supporting continuity of operations; and a $71.3 thousand Department of Defense purchase order for HF antenna maintenance.

North Star's award portfolio concentrated in satellite telecommunications (59 awards) and radio and television broadcast wireless communications equipment manufacturing (23 awards), with secondary exposure in communication equipment repair and maintenance (9 awards) and other computer-related services (3 awards). Activity has declined year over year—seven awards in 2022 to one in 2026 through the source date—with four awards carrying ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months and combined potential value of $279 thousand. North Star maintains no active presence on government-wide contract vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs; all awards are direct purchase orders issued by individual agencies. The company has delivered federal communications contracts since at least 2002, with contract values typically ranging from approximately $7.9 thousand to $132.5 thousand across firm fixed-price, multi-year performance periods.
