KBR Expanding Capabilities for DoD Joint Mission Environment Test Capability Program with $445M Contract Win

KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced it has been awarded an estimated $445 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center's (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. These DoD IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the U.S. Air Force's 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the DTIC repository and the R&D and S&T community. This recompete for the Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC) program supports the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Test Resource Management Center (TRMC). The work will be performed over a period of five years across multiple DoD locations.

The JMETC environment provides a test infrastructure consisting of the components necessary to conduct joint distributed test events by cost-effectively integrating live, virtual, and constructive test resources that are configured to support the users' needs. Under the terms of the contract, KBR will research, assess and address unique test and experimentation requirements to enhance JMETC's capabilities and integrate work into additional locations. KBR will support the TRMC in expanding test and experimentation connectivity and develop enhanced capabilities for test and experimentation environments through research, data analysis, system development, evaluations, strategic planning, and assessments.

"Building upon more than 24 years of support to this customer, KBR continues to leverage enhanced capabilities for critical technology areas for the Department of Defense," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. "This contract highlights KBR's commitment and support to the United States military through innovation and technological developments."

For the past five years, KBR has leaned forward expanding our support across many DoD critical technology areas including artificial intelligence (AI/ML), hypersonics, big data, RDT&E networking gear, multi-domain operations, cybersecurity, and event support for essential large force exercises and experimentation events. KBR serves as subject matter experts in T&E Science and Technology (S&T) for these DoD test and evaluation infrastructure capabilities.
