Satellite Services Inc.

Satellite Services Inc., a for-profit facilities management and construction company headquartered in Marquette, Michigan, delivers mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire safety, and general building renovation services as a prime contractor across federal civilian and defense agencies, with no SBA certifications and no reliance on set-aside contracts despite frequent Total Small Business set-aside designations on individual task orders reflecting vendor size classification rather than certification status.

The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of awards) with a substantial federal footprint spanning 4,420 awards across 53 customer agencies totaling $31.27 billion in combined potential value. The top five customers by award count—the Department of the Navy (2,117 awards), the U.S. Coast Guard (822 awards), the Department of the Navy Installations Command (355 awards), GSA Region 6 (220 awards), and GSA Region 4 (153 awards)—account for 83% of recent awards. The potential-value ranking is inverted by a dominant position on the GSA Federal Acquisition Service vehicle: GSA FAS reports 3 awards carrying $30.27 billion in combined potential value, which dwarfs all other customers and reflects the vendor's foundational role on the Multiple Award Schedule. The Defense Information Systems Agency (23 awards, $403.1 million), the Department of the Air Force (124 awards, $178.6 million), GSA Region 6 (220 awards, $55 million), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (6 awards, $38.7 million) round out the top five by dollars.

Satellite Services' capability portfolio is grounded in execution-heavy infrastructure repair and maintenance work at federal facilities. Recent representative awards include a $576.4 thousand five-year purchase order for inspection, maintenance, and support of approximately 4,000 portable fire extinguishers across 53 buildings at Tinker Air Force Base (Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, 100% small business set-aside, March 2026); a $11.09 million BPA call under the DISA Tiered Infrastructure Maintenance IV contract for infrastructure maintenance at Montgomery, Alabama through November 2029 (July 2025); a $3.8 billion GSA Region 6 emergency facilities engineering services IDC supporting three Des Moines federal buildings (Neal Smith Federal Building, Des Moines Courthouse, U.S. Courthouse) awarded March 2025 through February 2027, with 22 delivery orders issued to date ranging from $3,070.73 (freon detector calibration) to $305,551.80 (miscellaneous improvements); a $1.599 million U.S. Coast Guard facilities support services contract for Mobile, Alabama (running through October 2025) supporting HVAC repairs, roof work, electrical upgrades, and restroom renovations; and 457 GSA Multiple Award Schedule task orders totaling $225.3 million, primarily for courthouse and federal building maintenance in Florida, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Missouri, spanning terrazzo floor repair, boiler replacement, LED lighting installation, chiller diagnostics, fire suppression system work, and parking lot repaving. The Multiple Award Schedule represents the vendor's dominant transactional vehicle—412 task orders on file with $223.4 million combined potential value—anchoring nearly all GSA Public Buildings Service work across six regional offices.

SCI-reportable invoicing (federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold) totaled $26.7 million across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2024 peak invoicing of $8.6 million across 51.0 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts ran median $77.26/hr (10th percentile $37.57/hr; 90th percentile $102.67/hr), reflecting a blend of entry-level trade labor and specialized mechanical engineering work. The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 65 categories priced between $28.69/hr (janitor, high school education) and $130.07/hr (HVAC mechanic, high school education, 3 years experience, no clearance required), with no security-cleared labor offered and all roles requiring high school education or equivalent as minimum. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 3% of total hours, with three named subs reported, indicating the vendor builds and executes most delivery in-house.

Satellite Services executes work as a non-small-business prime competing predominantly in open (non-set-aside) federal procurements. The vendor's recent activity shows 114 awards in 2026, 80 in 2025, 115 in 2024, 127 in 2023, and 116 in 2022—tracking at roughly 100+ awards per year in recent fiscal years with no pronounced growth trajectory. Sixty-three awards (combined potential value $8.9 million) face completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. The vendor holds primary vehicle positions on three Navy indefinite delivery contracts (N6246790D0670 with 1,037 task orders; N6246701D6660 with 778 task orders, $1.3 million potential; N6246796D0832 with 352 task orders), the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (457 task orders, $225.3 million), a Coast Guard contract (HSCG8409NAA8323, 270 task orders, $5.2 million), the DISA Tiered Infrastructure Maintenance IV BPA ($165 million ceiling through May 2030, 23 awards including the $11.09 million Montgomery call), and the GSA Region 6 emergency facilities engineering IDC ($3.8 billion ceiling through February 2027, 22 delivery orders issued). These parent vehicles anchor the vendor's federal footprint across civilian facilities management and defense installations.

Satellite Services' work-category concentration reflects its core positioning: 1,649 awards in Facilities Support Services (NAICS), 778 in Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings, with PSC-level concentration in Housekeeping–Facilities Operations Support (654 awards), Maint/Rep/Alter/All Other (477 awards), Maintenance of Miscellaneous Buildings (292 awards), and Operation of Office Buildings (230 awards). The vendor does not position itself as minority-owned, woman-owned, disadvantaged-owned, or otherwise specially designated; despite frequent Total Small Business set-aside awards, it competes successfully in full-and-open procurements against all vendor sizes and does not rely on set-aside vehicles as a strategic posture. Recent awards carry no set-aside designation on open Navy, Coast Guard, GSA, DISA, and civilian agency delivery orders, and the vendor's mature federal footprint reflects four decades of federal contracting experience (first award in source data dated October 1982).
