About the company
Viasat Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and communications equipment company headquartered in Carlsbad, California, delivers satellite communications systems, cryptographic equipment, communication security hardware, and tactical networking solutions to the Department of Defense, Space Force, and Special Operations Command as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open federal procurements with no reliance on set-aside categories.
Viasat operates as a prime on 93 percent of its recent awards, generating $27.06 billion in combined potential value across 3,695 federal contracts and subcontracts since 1987, with $6.19 billion obligated. The company manufactures communications security (COMSEC) equipment including KG-series and KR-series encryptors, satellite terminals such as the CBM-400 modem and MOJO family of expeditionary kits, secure communication modems, radio frequency generators, and specialized defense-grade networking infrastructure. Recent representative work includes a $228.668 million delivery order from Space and Missile Systems Center (May 2026) for design, development, testing, and production of Protected Tactical SATCOM–Global (PTS-G) space vehicles and ground systems through 2034; a $200 million Army delivery order (May 2025) for signal brigade communications support at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; a $139.09 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract (August 2024) from Army PEO Command Control Communications–Tactical for Battlefield Management Software–Tactical (BFT2) follow-on maintenance labor; and a $26.27 million definitive contract (July 2024) from Army Communications Electronics Command for Viasat Linkway software maintenance and remote technical support for the Tactical Network Transport at the Halt program through July 2028.
Viasat's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army and Navy platforms. The top five customers by potential value account for 62 percent of combined dollars: Army PEO Command Control Communications–Tactical (62 awards, $11.37 billion), Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (711 awards, $1.77 billion), Air Force Air Education and Training Command (56 awards, $1.28 billion), Air Force (203 awards, $1.25 billion), and Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (154 awards, $1.13 billion). Navy IWSC dominates by award volume, while Army acquisition for tactical communications dominates by potential value. The divergence signals that Viasat holds numerous production and repair task orders from Navy IWSC under the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) program, while anchoring large-dollar development and integration programs with Army command and control customers.
Viasat holds five major parent vehicles. The lead vehicle is a $476.4 million combined potential value across 255 task orders under Marine Corps IDIQ 47QFLA19D0006; a $261.9 million, 134-task-order Navy vehicle (H9222218D0005); a 110-task-order Navy SPAWAR vehicle (N6600199D7000) for MIDS Low Volume Terminals; Air Force Materiel Command IDIQ FA853918D0002 (75 task orders, $32.8 million); and an 85-task-order Army vehicle (H9222214D0062, $28.2 million). Additionally, Viasat holds a $568.7 million single-award IDIQ with U.S. Special Operations Command for C5ISR capabilities through October 2029 and a $198.6 million single-award Air Force IDIQ with Air Education and Training Command for COMSEC equipment production and repair through August 2029. Recent awards also include a $4 billion multiple-award IDIQ from Space and Missile Systems Center (July 2025) for PTS-G design, development, test, and production through 2040, and a $151 billion multiple-award vehicle from Missile Defense Agency (December 2025) under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program through 2035.
Activity has remained relatively stable: 189 awards in 2022, declining to 144 in 2025, with 29 awards year-to-date in 2026. Fifty-one awards (combined potential value $376.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure centered on Navy IWSC and Army tactical communications platforms.
SCI-reported invoicing for federal service contracts shows minimal footprint: $15.4 million in FY2025 across 20.9 FTEs on a Viasat BFT2 follow-on contract with Army. The FY2025 figure represents the first significant SCI activity in the source period; prior fiscal years show near-zero SCI invoicing. This low SCI share reflects Viasat's business model as a manufacturer and systems integrator focused on hardware procurement, production, and repair rather than labor-intensive professional services. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performs 100 percent of work internally with zero sub-engagement reported, indicating a fully integrated delivery model for the few service-contract-eligible programs captured in this dataset.
Viasat teaming patterns show the company acts as prime on major programs and, when subcontracting, engages specialized suppliers. Recent sub-tier work includes L3Harris Technologies (multiple BIG SAFARI and Armed Overwatch subcontracts for airborne communications equipment), Sierra Nevada Company (airborne mission networking kits and antennas under BIG SAFARI), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (MQ-9B production and integration work), Northrop Grumman (space internet experimentation), and Lockheed Martin (aircraft sustainment and upgrade work). Viasat also subcontracts to component manufacturers such as Geosync Microwave (frequency conversion), Jersey Microwave (Ka-band equipment), Thyssenkrupp Rothe Erde (slewing bearings), and Quintech Electronics for RF signal management on large-dollar Army and Navy programs, reflecting a modular, vendor-managed supply chain aligned to satellite and tactical communications system architectures.
The company's capability footprint is concentrated in communications security hardware (221 awards per PSC code), airborne radio and television communication equipment (309 awards), ground-based radio and television equipment (282 awards), miscellaneous communications equipment (597 awards), and engineering services (170 awards). Named subsidiaries include Viasat Inc., RigNet Inc., Viasat UK Ltd, Viasat Carrier Services Inc., and Viasat Orion Inc., though the source does not characterize the role of each entity in the federal footprint. Viasat competes in open procurements across all customer agencies and program types without pursuing set-aside categories, positioning itself as a full-and-open prime aligned to defense platforms requiring specialized, high-reliability satellite and secure communications infrastructure.
