JFB Construction Holdings and its subsidiary XTEND have completed a $8.8 million U.S. Government contract, delivering the final autonomous robotics and AI‑powered systems to U.S. Special Operations Forces in Tampa, Florida. The milestone demonstrates the company’s ability to secure and deliver a sizable government project, adding a new revenue stream and validating its technology platform in a high‑stakes defense environment.
The contract win comes as JFB and XTEND prepare for a business combination announced on February 17, 2026, that will rename the combined entity XTEND AI Robotics and trade under the ticker XTND. A 2‑for‑1 stock split effective March 23 is part of the merger preparation, improving liquidity for shareholders.
The $8.8 million contract validates XTEND’s autonomous robotics and AI‑powered systems, reinforcing the technology platform that is central to the merger. The win adds a new revenue stream and demonstrates operational capability in a high‑stakes defense environment, supporting the narrative that the combined company can secure future government contracts.
XTEND CEO Aviv Shapira said the milestone shows the company’s ability to deliver scalable products that provide precision mission capabilities while keeping operators safe and in control. He added that modern conflicts depend on seamless human‑autonomous collaboration and that the goal is to extend the reach, effectiveness, and decision advantage of frontline forces.
The contract win is a positive signal for the merger, reinforcing confidence in XTEND’s technology and the combined company’s ability to win future defense contracts. The announcement may influence investor sentiment as the merger moves forward.
