BigBear.ai Secures $165M Army Contract for Force Structure Data System Development

BigBear.ai, a company that provides artificial intelligence-powered decision intelligence services, has booked a $165.2 million contract from the U.S. Army for the development of an integrated force structure and employment data system.

The company said Monday it will further develop the Global Force Information Management system, which handles force structure data, under the five-year, sole source production contract.

The GFIM-Operational Environment is designed to swiftly deliver reliable transactional data to senior leaders and combatant commanders, enabling them to make data-driven decisions regarding military sources and ensure the Army is adequately staffed, equipped and trained.

Mandy Long, CEO of BigBear.ai, stressed the company’s commitment to helping the Army with its digital transformation efforts by leveraging its deep mission expertise and use of cutting-edge technology. “We are honored that the Army has selected us as a solution development partner and we look forward to advancing this critical mission together.”

Ryan Legge, president of national security at BigBear.ai., added, “For the past several years, BigBear.ai has been working to support the Secretary’s goal of ensuring the Army embraces new technologies to become a more data-centric fighting force.”

BigBear.ai previously received a $17.9 million contract extension for enhancing the data system of the GFIM.
