Infinity Systems Engineering, a Colorado Springs company that creates software, GPS and other defense technologies, secured a $25 million, five-year contract to help provide military satellite communications at Schriever and Peterson Space Force Bases.

For Infinity and its 250 employees, the sole-source contract, announced last week, is an achievement because it’s the only company allowed to provide those types of satellite communications services to the Space Force bases. That’s based on the company’s performance providing previous contracts, said Trina Baldock, Infinity’s director of programs.

“So this is probably one of our larger contracts,” Baldock said. “We do have larger, but I would say this is a big deal for us.”

In the past 10 years, Infinity has won contracts from $10 million to $60 million.

For Infinity, providing military satellite communications is vitally important, Baldock said.

A high proportion of Infinity employees served in the military, Baldock said.

“So many of our folks have been in the military (and) have supported deployments around the world. So we have been users of the systems that we are supporting now.

So on the defense contractor side, supporting those military users is super important to us.”

As a contractor, Baldock said Infinity won’t be working alone but will have subcontractors help create the end product.

“It is very important to us that we can provide these services,” Baldock said.
