About Viasat Inc.
Viasat Inc. operates as a prime contractor delivering satellite communications equipment, cybersecurity infrastructure, cryptographic systems, and communications security (COMSEC) hardware to the Department of Defense, Special Operations Command, and allied defense agencies. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside designations, reflecting its position as an established prime contractor capable of competing across the entire federal landscape.
Viasat manufactures and sustains specialized defense communications systems including satellite terminals, secure modems, encrypted radio equipment, tactical communication kits (MOJO systems), ruggedized field terminals, and related RF generation and signal processing hardware. Representative work spans a $153.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee BFT2 (Battlefield Management Software-Tactical) sustainment contract with the Army, a $37.1 million firm fixed-price RAMMS (Resilient AESA for Multi-Band Multi-Orbit Satcom) development contract with Air Force Research Laboratory, and a $26.3 million Linkway software maintenance and support contract with Army CECOM. Recent delivery orders include a $250 million PACAF order for C5ISR and communications capabilities (awarded September 2025), a $200 million Fleet Cyber Command satellite communications delivery order (May 2025), and a $30.7 million Army Headquarters task order for communications support (January 2025).
Customer concentration centers on naval and special operations programs. The Navy Information Warfare Systems Command leads by award count (711 awards, $1.72 billion combined potential value), reflecting Viasat's role as a primary supplier under the SPAWAR MIDS Low Volume Terminals Production IDIQ for the Multifunctional Information Distribution System major defense program. The Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Command Control Communications-Tactical dominates by dollar value ($11.35 billion combined potential value across 61 awards), anchored by the BFT2 follow-on contract. SOCOM rounds out the top tier (286 awards, $1.1 billion potential value) under Viasat's $568.7 million single-award C5ISR IDIQ running through October 2029. Air Force customers split across Air Education and Training Command ($1.28 billion potential value from 53 awards under a $198.6 million COMSEC production-and-repair IDIQ through August 2029) and broader Air Force programs ($1.24 billion from 201 awards). These five customers account for 62 percent of the vendor's combined potential value.
Viasat holds strategic positions on multiple large-dollar IDIQs and indefinite-delivery vehicles. The vendor maintains a $151 billion multiple-award SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) contract with the Missile Defense Agency awarded December 2025, with an initial $500 task order issued the same day. The $568.7 million SOCOM C5ISR IDIQ and $198.6 million Air Education and Training Command COMSEC IDIQ anchor the defense portfolio. A $3 million single-award cryptographic equipment IDIQ with the Air Force (awarded December 2025) has generated three delivery orders totaling $1.77 million through early 2026. The vendor sits on marine corps vehicle 47QFLA19D0006 (255 task orders, $476.4 million combined potential value) and Navy IDIQ H9222218D0005 (134 task orders, $261.9 million combined potential value). These vehicles generate steady task-order flow across multiple commands.
Activity volume has moderated year over year—189 awards in 2022 declining to 15 through April 2026—reflecting the nature of large-dollar prime contracts and their multi-year sustainment cycles rather than smaller transactional procurements. The vendor faces $1.02 billion in recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months from 61 awards reaching ultimate completion, including the $22.9 million AETC COMSEC delivery order (August 2029 completion) and several marine corps and air force programs maturing in 2026–2027.
Viasat operates as a prime on 93 percent of awards (3,419 of 3,680) and subcontracts less than 1 percent of work to other vendors across SCI-reportable service contracts. The vendor brings substantial subcontractor relationships on larger integration programs. Recent prime vehicle partners include Sierra Nevada Company (airborne mission networking, BIG SAFARI antennas), L3Harris Technologies (BIG SAFARI aircraft systems, Armed Overwatch production), General Dynamics Mission Systems (SDA Tranche 1 operations integration), Leidos (HR3DGI geospatial integration), and Northrop Grumman (defense experimentation using commercial space internet, Global Hawk contractor logistics). On its own primes, Viasat engages component suppliers including Quintech Electronics & Communications, Jersey Microwave, Comtech Satellite Network Technologies, and Geosync Microwave to support satellite equipment production and integration.
The vendor's corporate structure includes subsidiaries Trellisware Technologies (tactical communications software), Inmarsat (satellite communications), and RigNet (connectivity services), providing complementary capabilities in software-defined networking, maritime and aviation connectivity, and communications infrastructure. The satellite and communications heritage reflects Viasat's market position as a vertically integrated provider of both hardware and software infrastructure for defense applications.
Viasat competes in full-and-open procurements with no reliance on set-aside categories, positioning the vendor as a large established prime with cost and technical competitiveness across defense communications, cybersecurity, and space-enabled command-and-control domains. Award patterns show strength in COMSEC hardware procurement, tactical communications equipment, and software-defined network infrastructure supporting joint and special operations missions.
