SES
Government Solutions (SES-GS) has entered into a Custom SATCOM
Solutions (CS2) contract from the U.S. Government. SES-GS will
provide access to their custom network solutions capabilities and
their fleet of communications satellites.
The Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the General Services
Administration (GSA) created CS2 contracts to serve as the third
segment of the Future Commercial Services Acquisition (FCSA.) The CS2
will open up more avenues of access to satellite services for
government customers.
Thanks to the
CS2 contract, the U.S. Government can directly approach SES-GS for
customized communications capability and solutions on the satellite
operator's fleet of 51 communications platforms.
Eight CS2
contracts have been awarded so far. The U.S. government has set a
total funding ceiling of USD 2.6 billion that will be spent over the
next three years with options for two additional one-year periods.
