"This new task order gives KBRwyle the opportunity to expand our support of the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology," said Byron Bright, President, KBR Government Services U.S. "We will continue to work with AFIT in providing education and research to ensure the Air Force has the most advanced technology to defend our nation."
Through partnered efforts, KBRwyle has assisted AFIT in conducting militarily-relevant research, delivering analytic tools to DoD organizations, and producing defense-related publications on the latest technological advances and how they can be used to enhance national security for over eight years.
The Air Force awarded this cost-plus-fixed-fee task order under the DoD's Information Analysis Center's (IAC) Defense Systems Technical Area Task (DSTAT) multi-award contract. KBRwyle won a seat on the DSTAT contract in June 2014.
Estimated revenue associated with this contract award will be booked into the backlog of unfilled orders for KBR's Government Services business segment.
