KBR has secured a task order with the U.S. Space Force valued at a maximum of $98.7 million over a three-year performance period to advance the military branch’s digital infrastructure, specifically within its testing and training domain in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
What Is the Goal of the DICE Task Order?
The cost-plus-incentive-fee task order, named Design Implementation for Collaborative Environment, will enable the establishment of an advanced testing and training ecosystem, KBR said Thursday. This environment is designed to enhance the USSF’s integrated digital engineering framework.
KBR will deploy its proprietary Integration Accelerator, a specialized collaborative digital platform designed to facilitate quicker and more informed decision-making across development cycles and field deployment. The company will also provide analytical and technical assistance to enhance the methodologies, processes and outcomes associated with the acquisition and implementation of future Space Force integrated testing and training programs.
How Does KBR Fit Into the USSF Strategy?
The award is being executed under the Advanced Solutions for Collaborative Engineering and Digital Development indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle.
According to Mark Kavanaugh, KBR’s president of defense, intel and space, the new contract signifies a critical advancement in USSF modernization efforts. He emphasized that the Integration Accelerator will be crucial in delivering an ecosystem that supports smarter, faster and more resilient decision-making for upcoming integrated testing and training.
KBR said the task order strengthens its position as a primary partner to the U.S. government, particularly in delivering digital transformation, mission-critical support and secure infrastructure within the defense and space sectors.
