BigBear.ai Awarded Contract to Modernize Critical Department of Defense Force Management Platform
McLean, VA – March 10, 2025 – BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a leading provider of AI-powered decision intelligence solutions for defense and national security, today announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded the company a 3.5-year, $13.2M sole source contract to support the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s (CJCS) Directorate for Force Management (J-35). BigBear.ai will deliver and maintain the DoD Joint Staff J-35’s ORION Decision Support Platform (DSP) which provides automated force management capabilities and data analytics to the DoD’s Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC)…
… The Directorate for Force Management oversees the structure, policies, and resources for the United States Armed Forces to maintain optimal force readiness and integrate its global operations. As the DoD continues to navigate evolving threats and operational demands, BigBear.ai’s modernization efforts will enhance ORION DSP’s scalability, adaptability, and analytical capabilities to support force planning. The contract will combine BigBear.ai’s deep subject matter expertise and advanced technical skills to continue development of the cutting-edge and mission-critical solution for DoD’s JPEC.
ORION DSP integrates data from each of the Armed Services, provides global visualization of forces in motion, and facilitates Course of Action (COA) development, refinement, and analysis to provide validated military advice to senior DoD decision makers. ORION DSP is used today to conduct strategic analysis of contingency, crisis, and major plans to inform operational, tactical, and strategic decision-making across the department. Additionally, ORION DSP has enabled analysis that previously took weeks or months to now be conducted in minutes and hours.
This contract was awarded through the Tradewinds Marketplace, the DoD’s premier platform for AI/ML procurement, and marks BigBear.ai’s second award through this contract vehicle following VANE’s awardable status.
