  • 08/08/2024 (action date): the Defense Information Systems Agency (Telecommunications Division, Fort Meade) placed delivery order HC101324F0143 with Space Exploration Technologies Corp., described as “BEST EFFORT SUBSCRIPTION & TERMINALS - UKRAINE,” under parent vehicle HC101323D9000. Base obligation $106,875,000; funding-only modifications dated 09/20/2024 and 11/26/2024 bring total obligation to $138,058,450; ceiling with options $537,733,000. Performance ends 11/30/2025, potential end 04/08/2026 (USAspending).
  • What the record does not say: the description does not use the word Starshield, and it names no controlling office, tasking authority or end-user terms. The award month matches Bloomberg’s August 2024 date for the Space Systems Command contract that gave Ukraine’s Starlink terminals Starshield access (2024-12-06–bloomberg-ssc-starshield-ukraine-contract-3000-terminals), but USAspending shows DISA, not Space Systems Command, as awarding office; whether they are the same award is not established by these records.
  • Date kind: action date of the order, not the date it became public; the USAspending record is the public trace found in this pass.
  • Context: 2026-10-14–spacex-starshield-speed-cap-ukraine-military-terminals.
