The contract award from U.S. Army Contracting Command enables the company to provide "Satellite Baseband Systems satellite communications infrastructure" under a contract modification valued at more than $31.9 million, the Department of Defense announced on Thursday.

Work on the contract will occur in Cape Canaveral, Fla., and is expected to be complete in May 2019.
More than $11.2 million will be obligated to IAP Worldwide Services at time of award from Army fiscal 2018 research, development, test and evaluation, and operations and maintenance funds, the Pentagon said.
