KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business won a recompete contract worth up to $200 million to enhance aviation safety and modernize America's transportation networks, announced April 27, 2026 in KBR's own press release. Work runs through the U.S. DOT's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
What's in scope
KBR will provide engineering services, AI, machine learning, modern web frameworks, modeling and simulation techniques, and big data and analytics under the Transportation, Technology & Engineering Mission Solutions (TTEMS) contract. TTEMS is a single-award, five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement issued through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program. BPA calls can be firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, or labor-hour.
Cross-modal scope
The contract spans every DOT mode — Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway Administration, NHTSA, FMCSA — plus the Department of War and additional federal agencies. KBR previously held a $126.7M Volpe IT contract (awarded 2021) and has supported DOT for 15+ years.
What this opens up for subs
- Volpe is the DOT's R&D engine — AI/ML and digital-twin firms have a real on-ramp via KBR teaming
- Cross-modal scope means task orders touch nearly every transportation mission
- BPA structure means task orders begin within Q3 FY26
