Viking Satcom, LLC

Viking Satcom, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Albion, Michigan, supplies satellite communications equipment and components to federal agencies as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside categories. The vendor holds a small-business designation and has been registered in the System for Award Management since September 2010.

Viking Satcom's portfolio centers on manufacturing and supply of satellite antenna systems, Low Noise Block Downconverters (LNBs), Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs), and associated RF hardware. The vendor's capability framing aligns with NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC codes for antennas and miscellaneous communications equipment. Concrete recent work includes a $68,168 firm fixed-price delivery of a 3.7-meter prime focus antenna to Defense Media Activity (September 2024), a $48,512 procurement of satellite communications equipment to support FEMA personnel and survivors at identified FEMA locations under the public safety exception (April 2025, completed July 2025), a $44,646 small-business-set-aside supply of Low Noise Block Downconverters to the Air Force (September 2024), a $26,225 purchase order from the Federal Aviation Administration for satellite communications equipment supporting the Aeronautical Station Transmit Infrastructure (June 2026), and a $24,294 spare parts contract with the U.S. Agency for Global Media (September 2025, completing September 2026).

Customer concentration is distributed across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customers by dollar value account for 96% of combined potential value, with Defense Media Activity anchoring the portfolio at $5.9 million across eight awards, followed by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($435 thousand, eleven awards), the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command ($298 thousand, six awards), and the U.S. Agency for Global Media Office of Technology Services and Innovation ($238 thousand, eight awards). The vendor serves 18 distinct federal customer agencies overall, indicating broad exposure across DoD logistics, defense communications, FEMA disaster response, civilian space and aviation infrastructure, and international broadcasting operations.

Activity has declined moderately in recent years — peaking at five awards in 2023 and declining to one award in the first half of 2026 — though the vendor maintains active engagement with repeat customers. Only one award (combined potential value $24 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Viking Satcom places work under at least two IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM4A612D0265 (8 task orders, $66 thousand combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ002812D0001 (1 task order, $114 thousand combined potential value). As a subcontractor, Viking Satcom supplies satellite RF components and related hardware to Kratos S2, Inc. (Ka/Ku-band feed assemblies and multiband LNBs for the COSMIC AES SBIR III program), Lockheed Martin Corp (manifold assemblies and dehydrator units), and Colsa Corp (ultra-low phase noise oscillator components). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $1.8 million against a combined potential-value ceiling of $7.3 million.
