Peraton Government Communications Inc.

Peraton Government Communications Inc., a division of Peraton Corp., operates as a prime contractor delivering telecommunications and satellite communications services to the Department of Defense and federal agencies under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Based in Herndon, Virginia, the company provides wired and satellite telecommunications circuits, network connectivity, Ethernet services, OC-series fiber optic connections, Ku-band and other satellite bandwidth, and antenna systems infrastructure. The division competes predominantly outside set-asides and operates 99% as a prime contractor across a large and mature award portfolio.

Peraton GCC's customer concentration is heavily anchored to the Defense Information Systems Agency, which accounts for 1,962 awards (38% of total) with $1.59 billion in combined potential value — more than 40% of the division's total portfolio across 110 distinct customer agencies. The Department of the Army Cyber Command ranks second by potential value ($151.9 million across 197 awards), followed by the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) at $96.4 million across 720 awards, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense at $62.9 million. DISA's dominance reflects the division's core positioning as a tactical provider of point-to-point telecommunications infrastructure and network circuits serving defense communications requirements. Representative prime work includes a $13.4 million operations and maintenance definitive contract with DISA awarded August 2025 through June 2028; two OC-3 (155.52 Mbps) channelized fiber circuits to DISA awarded December 2025 for $99.8 million each, extending through September 2030; multiple 40 Mbps to 10 GB Ethernet and OC-12 circuits across DISA facilities in Arlington, Washington D.C., Norfolk, and North Carolina; a $1.54 million Ku-band satellite services call to the Department of the Army for Region A/Europe services under a BPA; and a $7.3 million antenna systems delivery order issued by Naval Information Warfare Systems Command under the Multiple Award Schedule in 2022.

The division places the substantial majority of its task-order volume under two large DISA-issued indefinite-delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract HC101307D2006 (4,540 task orders, $829.5 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract DCA20001D5004 (190 task orders, $535 million). Peraton GCC also holds 44 task orders under Federal Supply Schedule GS35F5497H for telecommunications labor categories, and sits on the DISA Global Network Services parent IDIQ. These vehicles represent the primary channels through which DISA and Army Cyber Command issue work to the division. The portfolio's primary NAICS concentration is Wired Telecommunications Carriers (4,610 awards), with a secondary cluster in Satellite Telecommunications (234 awards) and limited activity in systems engineering and IT services.

Activity across the division shows a sharp contraction after a spike in FY2023. The division recorded four awards in FY2022, forty in FY2023, nine in FY2024, and only six through the first quarter of 2026. This trajectory suggests either consolidation of task orders under existing IDIQs or a significant shift in DISA's procurement strategy toward fewer, larger vehicle calls. Eight awards with combined potential value of $62.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated within the DISA relationship. On the subcontractor side, Peraton GCC supplies technical support for intelligence systems development under Parsons Government Services Inc. on multiple cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders supporting the Intelligence Development Enabled Awareness (IDEAS) program, with modifications continuing through at least December 2024. The division also supplies telecommunications research and development work to Assurance Technology Corp on TERFS (Tactical Electronic Warfare Frequency Selection) contracts.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $42.2 million in SCI-reportable invoiced amounts (FY2022–FY2024), with $35.3 million recorded in FY2022 across 89.2 FTEs and declining to $6.8 million in FY2023 with no FTE or invoiced activity recorded in FY2024. This sharp drop reflects a shift from SCI-reportable labor-heavy service contracts to task orders under fixed indefinite-delivery vehicles, which do not trigger SCI reporting. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts cluster tightly around a median of $153.42/hr, with rates ranging from $152.53/hr at the 10th percentile to $154.32/hr at the 90th percentile — consistent with technical telecommunications and network operations staffing rather than premium engineering or cleared labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 8% of total contractor hours, with eight named subs reported, indicating the division builds and staffs most delivery internally. The division holds three active GSA Schedule labor categories spanning $150.48/hr to $241.06/hr for project management, program management, and subject-matter expertise roles, all requiring a bachelor's degree and no security clearance.
