KBR, Inc. secured a $149 million cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee contract under the Air Force’s Acquisition, Data, Engineering, Digital, Decision Integration and Software (ADEDDIS) program. The award, granted by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s EB Armament Directorate, will deliver advanced analytics, decision‑support tools, digital‑transformation solutions, systems and enterprise‑architecture engineering, and software development for the Air Force’s armament programs at Eglin Air Force Base over a seven‑year period.
The contract is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement that expands KBR’s footprint in the Air Force’s digital‑transformation initiatives. It is a key win for the company’s Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) business, which is positioned to become a standalone, high‑margin technology company as part of KBR’s planned spin‑off. The new revenue stream is expected to strengthen KBR’s backlog and support the company’s broader strategy of shifting from legacy services to advanced technology solutions.
KBR’s most recent quarterly results provide context for the significance of the contract. In Q3 2025 the company reported revenue of $1.931 billion and diluted earnings per share of $0.90, a 12% increase from the prior quarter and a 6% rise from the same period a year earlier. The company’s 2024 annual revenue was $7.742 billion, and it has recently secured other large contracts, including a $151 billion SHIELD position with the Missile Defense Agency, a $350 million award from the U.S. Geological Survey, and a $20 billion Navy support contract. The new Air Force award adds to this portfolio of high‑value, technology‑centric contracts that underpin KBR’s transformation agenda.
Stuart Bradie, KBR’s President and CEO, said the award "represents a pivotal step in advancing KBR’s digital‑transformation expertise across defense systems" and added that the company "remains committed to driving next‑generation capabilities that will shape the future of armament development and ensure service members receive solutions rapidly and reliably." The comments underscore the company’s focus on high‑margin technology services and its confidence in the growing demand for advanced analytics and software solutions in defense programs.
The contract’s alignment with the ADEDDIS program and its focus on digital transformation positions KBR to play a central role in accelerating the Air Force’s armament development cycle. By providing advanced analytics and decision‑support tools, KBR will help the Air Force reduce development timelines and improve system readiness. The long‑term nature of the agreement also provides a stable revenue base that supports KBR’s ongoing investment in technology capabilities and its strategic goal of creating a standalone, high‑margin technology company through the planned spin‑off of its MTS segment.
