FCSA Program

The Future Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Services Acquisition (FCSA) consists of a comprehensive set of acquisition activities which are intended to replace expiring DISA and GSA contracts and create a common marketplace for all government customers to acquire COMSATCOM services.

The new FCSA contract includes two new Schedule Items Numbers (SINs) under the GSA IT Schedule 70 Multiple Awards Schedule. Intelsat General has been awarded Schedule 70 contracts in each of the two new SINs:

• Transponder Capacity (SIN 132-54)
• Subscription Services (SIN 132-55)

SMC-32 Commercial SATCOM BAA Study Award

IGC has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center to conduct a study to determine the possible advantages of commercial space acquisition practices, including hosted payloads, for MILSATCOM architecture planning. This study will examine how commercial methods can be used to procure services at lower cost, on a rapidly accelerated schedule, and with the least technical and acquisition risk.

SPAWAR

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Contract for UHF in-orbit services. This contract will allow for continued augmentation of Department of Defense (DoD) UHF narrowband Satellite Communications via multiple 25kHz channels and 5 KHz channels on the Skynet constellation and Leased Satellite (LEASAT 5). These services will provide the DoD with region specific UHF military satellite communications to all Navy ships, command and control networks, and tactical, on-the-ground mobile warfighters.
