BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) today announced that the U.S. Army has
awarded the company a five-year, $165.15 million sole source prime
contract for Global Force Information Management (GFIM) Production
Services.
“This contract exemplifies our unwavering commitment to the
Army’s digital transformation efforts through our deep mission
expertise and use of cutting-edge technology,” said BigBear.ai’s
CEO, Mandy Long. “We are honored that the Army has selected us as a
solution development partner, and we look forward to advancing this
critical mission together.”
Since 2021, BigBear.ai has been working with the Army to
transform 15 legacy systems into an enterprise-wide intelligent
automation platform, supporting the Secretary of the Army’s vision
for data-centric force management. Building on the contributions
through Phase 1 and Phase 2, this contract will support the
continued development and transition of GFIM-OE capabilities to
production.
“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,” said
Ryan Legge, President of National Security at BigBear.ai. “As a
leader in providing technical solutions, we are proud to continue
and expand on our partnership with the G-3/5/7 and PEO-EIS to
deliver this mission critical application.”
The primary requirement of this contract is to complete the
delivery of a dynamic, integrated, and interoperable transactional
global force structure and employment data system for the force
management community. This system will enable effective planning,
programming, and production of authoritative force structure data.
Upon completion, GFIM-OE will empower senior leaders and combatant
commanders to make data-driven force structure decisions more
quickly and with greater confidence, helping to ensure the Army is
properly manned, equipped, trained, and resourced.
“The GFIM system will provide critical authoritative force
management data that enables the Army to properly train, man,
equip, and resource our forces,” said Andy St. Laurent, U.S. Army
GFIM Capabilities Management Officer. “Over the past nine months of
development, our team utilized the SAFe Agile Framework to work
together and has moved closer to making GFIM-OE a reality.”
