KBR's Mission Technology Solutions division has been awarded two firm-fixed-price task orders under the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program (AFCAP) V. The contracts cover transient aircraft services across Southwest Asia and dining facility services at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The combined ceiling value is more than $41 million.
Overview
The awards fall under AFCAP V, the U.S. Air Force's primary mechanism for contracting support services in theater. KBR will provide transient aircraft services — typically fueling, ground handling, and maintenance support for aircraft passing through bases in the region — and manage dining facility operations at Al Dhafra Air Base, a key logistics hub for U.S. Central Command operations.
Contract details
The period of performance begins in May 2026, with one base year and three option years. Both task orders are firm-fixed-price, meaning KBR bears cost risk for any overruns but benefits from predictable revenue if operations stay within budget.
KBR's role
KBR has supported U.S. military and allied nation missions for more than 30 years. The company currently provides base operations services for the U.S. Air Force in Spain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Japan. Its Readiness and Sustainment division, led by President Doug Hill, focuses on delivering mission-critical services in complex environments.
Bottom line
These task orders extend KBR's existing footprint in the Middle East under a well-established contracting vehicle. The $41 million ceiling is modest relative to KBR's overall revenue (the company employs roughly 36,000 people worldwide), but the awards signal continued demand for outsourced base support as the U.S. military maintains a presence in Southwest Asia.
