- The task order carries a $228 million ceiling to cover additional in-scope special projects
- Work at Hill Air Force Base in Utah is slated to run through June 2030
- The contract award is a sole-source order from the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Accenture Federal Services a $151.5 million task order to provide digital engineering services for FENCES within the service’s intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, portfolio.
According to a Department of War contract announcement published Tuesday, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Hill Air Force Base in Utah issued the firm-fixed-price order Friday through the General Services Administration’s Alliant 2 government-wide acquisition contract.
What Does the ICBM FENCES Task Order Cover?
Under the order, the Arlington, Virginia-based company will engineer, develop, secure and operate tailored FENCES. The ceiling is set at $228 million, which gives the service room to add special projects that fall within the existing scope. Work at Hill is expected to wrap up by June 30, 2030.
How Is the Air Force Funding the FENCES Effort?
The service obligated about $6.7 million upon award, drawing on fiscal year 2026 funds for research, development, testing and evaluation. The AFNWC awarded the contract on a sole-source basis to support the Air Force’s Ground Based Strategic Deterrent effort, expanding upon a previous FENCES digital engineering contract originally awarded to Novetta in October 2021. Shortly before that award, AFS acquired Novetta.
What Other Federal Contracts Has Accenture Federal Services Won Recently?
The ICBM order follows a September Army award for a potential $480.4 million contract to develop the AI-enabled Joint Enterprise Task Management System, which could support up to 200,000 users across 68 organizations. In July, AFS captured an $821 million task order, also issued under Alliant 2, for core integration work on the department’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s War Data Platform.
The company has also secured spots on several multiple-award vehicles. The deals include a $300 million Defense Health Agency contract for deployment support to the Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems, and a $249.9 million Navy logistics IT modernization contract. AFS is also one of the contractors selected for the Department of State’s $10 billion Evolve enterprise IT program.
Parent company Accenture, meanwhile, is expanding in operational technology security through a roughly $4.2 billion agreement announced in June to take a majority stake in Dragos and fully acquire runZero and NetRise.
