(RTTNews) - Satellite communications company Viasat, Inc. (VSAT) announced Tuesday it has received a five-year, sole-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) with a $568 million ceiling. This contract is a follow-on award through GSA that extends a previous IDIQ award issued in 2019.
Under the award, Viasat will support U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) technology modernization with tactical networking, ground system, satellite communication and cybersecurity solutions.
It will support the rapid migration of command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) capabilities and best practices to General Purpose Forces (GPF) from Special Operations Forces (SOF).
Viasat will also continue to deliver a diverse portfolio of technologies and services to help advance and enable the communications, security, intelligence and operations that are essential for both SOF and GPF warfighters.
Viasat's technology and services capabilities have expanded following its acquisition of Inmarsat in 2023, offering an extensive range of flexible, resilient communication solutions and services to support DoD's evolving operations and mission requirements.
This contract structure allows the DoD to address key priorities for enhanced mobility, resilient networking, cybersecurity and broadband SATCOM services. It also allows for the accelerated acquisition and adoption of new products, systems and services the DoD requires, and enables military users across services to access and benefit from these emerging technologies.
Viasat will continue to support the identification and integration of new capabilities and technologies that can address the DoD's enterprise C5ISR mission requirements.
