On August 19, Raft announced it has been awarded a five-year, $99 million firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Army Contracting Command.
The contract establishes an enterprise pathway for the acquisition and management of Raft software platforms, data integrations, secure compute infrastructure, and a comprehensive range of support services. The vehicle gives organizations across the U.S. Army and Department of War a streamlined path to procure and scale Raft capabilities without establishing a new contract vehicle for every requirement—helping move proven software into soldiers’ hands faster.
“We’ve proven our technology where it matters most: in the hands of Soldiers and in the environments where they fight,” said Trey Coleman, chief product officer at Raft. “This contract removes acquisition barriers and gives the U.S. Army a direct path to put proven capabilities into the hands of more soldiers, faster.”
The award comes as Raft’s role in U.S. Army modernization continues to expand, most recently with its contributions to the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) common data layer baseline, following the proven operational use of Raft Data Platform ([R]DP) and Raft AI Mission System ([R]AIMS) across Army formations from the tactical edge to the enterprise. Raft is scaling proven data and AI capabilities across missions and formations, and the new $99 million IDIQ creates another mechanism for scaling that work.
“The future of modern warfare depends on breaking down the barriers between data, applications and systems,” said Bhaarat Sharma, chief technology officer at Raft. “Our work with the U.S. Army has been about creating an open data foundation where information can be discovered, transformed, federated and made immediately useful at the point of decision.”
