Viasat has received a five-year, sole-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) with a $568m 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 the rapid migration of command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) capabilities and best practices from Special Operations Forces (SOF) to General Purpose Forces (GPF).
Through this contract, Viasat will 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 Communication Services and Defense and Advanced Technologies portfolios offer proven and innovative government solutions, including tactical gateways and advanced networking, airborne satcom terminals and Hubs, ground terminals and modems, beyond-line-of-sight satellite services, and cybersecurity and encryption capabilities.
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.
