## U.S. DoD Awards USEUCOM BPA to SES Space & Defense

*Under a multi-year Blanket Purchase Agreement, SES Space & Defense will provide multi-orbit, multi-band commercial satellite services to USEUCOM leveraging an agnostic SATCOM network*

Reston, Va., 9 December 2024 – SES's wholly-owned subsidiary, SES Space & Defense, has been awarded a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) through Space Systems Command (SSC) with the help of the United States Space Force's Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO) with a ceiling value of USD 117 million in support of the United States European Command (USEUCOM) delivering multi-orbit, multi-band satellite capabilities.

To meet enduring and emerging mission requirements in the USEUCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR), SES Space & Defense partnered with several industry-leading players to provide managed service using UHF, L, C, X, Ku and Mil-Ka bands in the USEUCOM Region. The company will also provide Risk Management Framework-accredited commercial teleport and terrestrial transport backhaul services to Government Entry Points (GEP). Under the BPA, SES Space & Defense will deliver program management support, bandwidth management, network monitoring, and the opportunity to procure ancillary equipment such as remote Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs)*.*

"This BPA will accelerate access to acquiring COMSATCOM services for the DoD in the USEUCOM Area of Responsibility region," said David Fields, President and CEO, SES Space & Defense. "To support the DoD needs we have assembled a team comprised of the best in the industry to deliver multi-band, multi-orbit COMSATCOM capabilities that provide alternate SATCOM paths for greater network resiliency and flexibility required to achieve mission success."
