AGS qualified to deliver domestic, regional and global bandwidth and mission-critical solutions under the umbrella of the five-year $750 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. GSA's SATCOM-II program enables all U.S. federal civilian and defense agencies to procure a broad range of satellite solutions.

In acknowledging the GSA qualification, Tip Osterthaler, President and CEO of AGS, said, "We are honored to have been selected by GSA to participate in the SATCOM II program. We combine access to the global fleet of SES spacecraft with a deep understanding of advanced IP and other emerging technologies, and we are totally focused on our U.S. government clients.
