Air Force wraps up awards for $866M advisory, assistance contract

The Air Force has finalized its award of an eight-year, $866 million advisory and assistance services contract to four companies that will work with one of the service branch’s military intelligence units.

The National Air and Space Intelligence Center is responsible for looking at air, space, missile and cyber issues in order to inform weapon system acquisitions and national defense policies. Other U.S. military and intelligence agencies rely on NASIC’s work as foundational to their strategies, programs and plans.

Apogee Engineering, KBR, Riverside Research, and Systems Planning and Analysis were announced as awardees in the Pentagon’s Wednesday contracts digest. They were the only companies to have submitted bids.

Work will take place at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio through June 30, 2034.

Solicitation documents from August 2025 outline how NASIC set up the Advisory Support and Technical Requirement Administration contract to aid in the production of technical intelligence on foreign systems.

The contract’s key activity areas include collection, analysis, planning, processing, dissemination and archiving.
