The U.S. Department of Defense announced a series of major contract awards, led by a $9.69 billion blanket purchase agreement awarded to Dell Federal Systems for Microsoft software licensing, cloud subscriptions, and Software Assurance across the Department of War (DOW), the Intelligence Community, and the Coast Guard.
The Dell Federal Systems agreement is a second-generation Department of War Enterprise Software Agreement (ESA II) designed to streamline and consolidate software procurement across defense organizations. The contract covers Microsoft software licenses, Microsoft 365 subscriptions, Software Assurance, and limited Microsoft Azure capabilities to support cloud migration efforts. The agreement is intended to support the military’s continued reliance on Microsoft products such as Windows Enterprise and Office Professional Plus while expanding access to cloud and hybrid infrastructure capabilities. The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific serves as the contracting activity.
Among the other major Navy awards, The Boeing Company received an $854.7 million contract modification for the production and delivery of four P-8A Lot 13 maritime patrol aircraft for Foreign Military Sales customers. The modification also funds engineering work related to manufacturing shortages, software integration, and hardware upgrades supporting both U.S. Navy and international operators. Work is expected to continue through September 2030.
Fuse Integration secured a $96.1 million award for the production, engineering, testing, and delivery of KRAKEN systems and CORE 5 network controller kits supporting Beyond Line of Sight mesh networking capabilities. The systems are designed to enhance tactical communications through Tactical Edge Network for Targeting in a Contested Long-Range Environment architecture.
Additional Navy awards included a combined $67.8 million contract modification for AMP United, International Marine and Industrial Applicators, and Q.E.D. Systems to extend submarine preservation and maintenance services through December 2026. Amentum Technology received a $50.2 million contract modification for base operations support services at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia, bringing the total value of that contract to more than $303.5 million.
