What Does KBR’s Air Force Contract Cover?

The Houston-based company said Tuesday the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract and initial task orders cover advanced analytics, decision-support tools, digital transformation, systems and enterprise architecture engineering, software development, and modeling and simulation. KBR will utilize these capabilities to streamline design, development and production processes, supporting the Air Force’s efforts to accelerate armament development and enable the warfighter to access critical capabilities more quickly and effectively.

What Are the Contract Details?

The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Eglin Branch Armament Directorate under the Acquisition, Data, Engineering, Digital, Decision Integration and Software, or ADEDDIS, program. It includes a seven-year performance period.

“This award represents a pivotal step in advancing KBR’s digital transformation expertise across defense systems,” said Stuart Bradie, president and CEO of KBR. “We remain committed to driving next-generation capabilities that will shape the future of armament development and ensure service members receive solutions rapidly and reliably.”

Previous KBR-Air Force Contracts

The Eglin contract builds on KBR’s recent collaborations with the Air Force. In September 2025, the company received three Air Force Research Laboratory task orders worth $175 million for situational awareness tools and a $176 million contract in February to support space domain awareness systems at the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site.
