Iron Bow Technologies was awarded a $100 million firm-fixed-price contract by the U.S. Air Force on April 23, 2026 — issued by the 10th Contracting Squadron at the Air Force Academy, Colorado. Scope: consolidated hardware and software supporting training, asset management, and tracking. Performance runs through April 2027 at multiple CONUS and OCONUS sites. Coverage from GovCon Wire.

Iron Bow's broader Air Force portfolio

This builds on Iron Bow's prior wins — including a potential $144M Theater Deployable Communications contract and a $743M DISA software-support agreement — plus its earlier teaming with Peraton on a $2.8B SOCOM initiative.

Why this one is interesting

  • Firm-fixed-price (not LPTA) on a $100M IT modernization — Air Force is willing to pay for performance, not just lowest cost
  • One-year base with options implied via "consolidated" framing — expect re-competes
  • Asset-management + training combo points at unified property accountability + courseware delivery — a small but recurring federal pattern

What to do

  • Hardware OEMs: Iron Bow is a major Cisco / Dell / HPE channel — check their teaming portal
  • L&D / training-platform vendors: Air Force Academy is a buying activity for AETC-aligned solutions
