LinQuest has secured a five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract worth $500 million to provide analysis support to the US Space Force.
The contract awarded to LinQuest represents the first enterprise contract awarded allowing USSF and other space analysis organisations to establish task orders promoting synergies and unity of effort.
The contract will be an extension of work originally performed by LinQuest’s Integrated Analytics & Support (IAS) business unit under DoD’s SBIR program that identifies promising technologies and brings them to an operational level of maturity.
The US Space Force, a new branch of the Armed Forces established in 2019, is charged with organising, training, and equipping space forces in order to protect the United States and its allied interests in space, as well as providing space capabilities to the joint force.
Greg Young, LinQuest’s Chief Operating Officer, commented: “This award will allow us to expand the world-class support we’re already providing across the LinQuest lines of business to our U.S. Space Force Guardians and the broader Space community.”
Tim Dills, President and CEO of LinQuest, added: “We’re proud of our IAS team and we’re excited about this new growth opportunity to continue demonstrating our dedication to excellence – from concept to capability.”
