Ultisat, Inc.

Ultisat, Inc. (doing business as Speedcast Government Division), a foreign-owned subsidiary of Speedcast Americas, Inc., is a prime contractor delivering satellite communications equipment, services, and network infrastructure to federal agencies across defense, civilian, and diplomatic sectors, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without SBA set-aside designations.

Ultisat's capability footprint centers on commercial Low Earth Orbit and geostationary satellite services, Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology, airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), communications-on-the-move (COTM), and managed network services. Recent representative prime awards include a $13 billion Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services IDIQ with the Defense Information Systems Agency (awarded July 2025, replacing the prior DISA PLEO contract; ten-year term through July 2033), a $40 million LEO Satellite Services IDIQ with the Department of Veterans Affairs (awarded September 2024, five-year term through September 2029), an $86.6 million Lower Earth Orbit satellite service delivery order with the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Tactical Communications II IDIQ (awarded March 2026, completion February 2029), and a $1.9 million Starlink mini kits and service plans delivery order from a federal Headquarters Division agency under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded August 2026, completion September 2027). Ultisat also holds a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Army for drones and drone components in support of Executive Order 14307 (awarded January 2026, through January 2031, with a $19,780 initial task order issued in January 2026). Work spans CONUS and OCONUS locations including Italy, Kenya, Djibouti, Somalia, Yemen, Antarctica, and the Pacific region, with primary administrative and performance centers at Laurel, Maryland.

Customer concentration clusters on defense and federal emergency-response agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 44% and 49% of recent awards respectively: the Defense Information Systems Agency leads by potential value at $13.02 billion (5 awards, primarily the PLEO IDIQ), followed by the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection at $3 billion, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $1.09 billion (10 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency at $99.2 million (8 awards), and the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command at $83.8 million (65 awards, the highest award count). The Air Force ACC concentration reflects repeated task orders for Starlink terminals, Ku-band space segment services, and satellite communications support across multiple installations. State Department bureaus (Diplomatic Security, Information Resource Management, and Bureau of African Affairs) and civilian agencies including NOAA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Federal Aviation Administration round out the active customer set across 71 distinct agencies.

Ultisat places most work on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (70 task orders, $128.7 million combined potential value) and two large multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts: the Tactical Communications II IDIQ under the Department of Homeland Security (11 task orders, $98.6 million) and the Defense Information Systems Agency PLEO IDIQ vehicles (successor and predecessor contracts combined, $13.02 billion potential). The Complex Commercial SATCOM Solutions (CS3) IDIQ with NOAA, a single-award vehicle, carries $8.3 million in Ultisat task-order work supporting Joint Polar Satellite System communications infrastructure at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Ultisat also competes under agency-specific IDICs with the Air Force Air Combat Command ($2.3 million single-award vehicle), the Department of the Army ($1.7 million space-segment delivery order on MAS), and the Department of State ($957 thousand IDIC for African satellite internet services).

Recent activity shows sustained delivery order volume with 24 awards in 2026 and 24 in 2024 (13 in 2025, 15 in 2023, 13 in 2022), driven primarily by renewal demand on the GSA MAS and TACCOM II vehicles and task-order competition under the DISA PLEO IDIQ. Seventeen awards with combined potential value of $30.7 million complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors on those vehicles.

Ultisat operates as a prime contractor on 89% of recent awards (226 of 255 total), with 11% subcontract work routed through primes including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Fluor Intercontinental, CACI, and General Dynamics Land Systems. Subcontractor engagement involves Starlink service delivery (particularly on Fluor's LOGCAP V base life support contracts in Kenya and Djibouti and Flintlock 25 operations in East Africa), satellite communications components and integration on General Dynamics global security engineering contracts, and satellite circuit provisioning on Booz Allen Hamilton EMAPS and EDITS vehicles. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal labor-hour activity under SCI thresholds: $2.2 million in invoiced service revenue in FY2023 and $2.9 million in FY2024 (reflecting the satellite-heavy, equipment-driven nature of Ultisat's federal work), with no FTE records reported, indicating that most federal revenue streams from goods and satellite circuits rather than labor-reportable services. Ultisat maintains a GSA Schedule labor portfolio spanning 49 categories with hourly rates from $32.67 (administrative support) to $198.78 (subject matter expert roles at master's degree level), reflecting capacity to staff managed-services and technical-support delivery orders, though the source data does not indicate significant labor deployment against federal work.

The vendor carries no SBA certifications and competes exclusively in unrestricted, full-and-open federal procurements, positioning it as a pure commercial prime across a broad federal customer base without reliance on set-aside vehicles or small-business carve-outs.
