Overview
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (herein referred to as “Booz Allen,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an advanced technology company building products and solutions for government and business. For more than 112 years, Booz Allen has evolved to meet the needs of commercial, international, and government customers. After September 11th, 2001, the Company undertook a fundamental transformation when it expanded into critical and sensitive national security missions. Our teams began delivering mission impact, executing full-spectrum cyber operations, helping the U.S. military counter the threat of improvised explosive devices (“IEDs”), standing up counter-terrorism fusion centers, and supporting intelligence missions. This work helped lay the foundation for the Company’s national security portfolio and strengthened its credibility in highly complex missions. In 2008, a strategic business decision was made to prioritize and protect the Company’s government and national security interests and spin off its global commercial business.
In 2013, Booz Allen began another massive multi-year transformation by making significant investments in the emerging technologies that would help transform government. The Company rebuilt its workforce with technologists that bring deep mission expertise in national security and other core government missions. These investments propelled Booz Allen as a leader in artificial intelligence (“AI”), cyber, quantum, and other advanced technologies.

Our advanced technology capabilities are grounded in decades of leadership across AI, cybersecurity, data, and engineering. As the federal government’s largest AI provider with approximately 400 active AI projects, we build secure AI solutions and advanced capabilities spanning agentic AI, physical AI, and AI-Radio Access Network (AI-RAN), and other emerging technologies designed for mission critical environments. We also have one of the most impactful cyber businesses globally, protecting U.S. federal, defense, and intelligence agencies, as well as private sector customers, including Fortune 500 and Global 1,000 companies. These capabilities are supported by enterprise-scale digital modernization expertise spanning cloud-enabled infrastructure, data platforms, and software applications.
Our core technologies include:
•Cyber: We build cyber tech to close the speed gap between AI-powered adversaries and traditional cyber defenses. From national missions to critical infrastructure, our elite cyber operators anticipate evolving threats and build military-grade defensive solutions for global customers. Vellox, our AI-native cyber product suite, pairs machine-speed automation with models trained on real-world adversary tradecraft to outpace attackers.
•Defense Tech: We build secure AI-enabled defense tech products from first prototype to mission deployment in our three flagship engineering facilities, where we build mission-ready technology today, not years from now. Our more than 20 manufacturing centers and advanced R&D labs reinforce this work through rapid, on-site testing and iteration. We unite mission understanding with emerging technologies through autonomous and tactical solutions, command and control systems, and intelligent warfighter systems. Our products, including Sit(x)R, EdgeExtendTM , and the Modular Detachment Kit, are engineered to be war-fighter ready and provide operational advantage across mission-critical environments.
We build mission-ready solutions that deliver real-world impact faster. We develop, scale and deploy advanced capabilities across established and emerging technology domains, including AI, cyber, edge, autonomy, space, and quantum, for our customers’ most critical missions. To accelerate the development and deployment of transformative technologies, our engineers and technologists combine our proprietary tech and deep technical expertise with strategic partnerships, venture investments, and co-creation across the commercial innovation ecosystem from hyperscalers like AWS to leading venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and emerging defense technology companies like Shield AI. By connecting commercial innovation with mission engineering and operational deployment, we shape the next generation of technologies advancing America’s future.

Contracts
The U.S. government procures solutions, outcomes, and services through two predominant contracting methods: definite contracts and indefinite contract vehicles. Each of these is described below:

Table of Contents
•Definite contracts call for the performance of specified services or the delivery of specified products. The U.S. government procures services and solutions through single award, definite contracts that specify the scope of services that will be delivered and identify the contractor that will provide the specified services. When an agency recognizes a need for services or products, it develops an acquisition plan, which details how it will procure those services or products. During the acquisition process, the agency may release a request for information to determine if qualified bidders exist, a draft request for a proposal to allow the industry to comment on the scope of work and acquisition strategy, and finally a formal request for a proposal. Following the evaluation of submitted proposals, the agency will award the contract to the winning bidder.
•Indefinite contract vehicles provide for the issuance by the government customer of orders for services or products under the terms of the contract. Indefinite contracts are often referred to as contract vehicles or ordering contracts. IDIQ contracts may be awarded to one contractor (single award) or several contractors (multiple award). Under a multiple award IDIQ contract, there is no guarantee of work as contract holders must compete for individual work orders. IDIQ contracts will often include pre-established labor categories and rates, and the ordering process is streamlined (usually taking less than a month from recognition of a need to an established order with a contractor). IDIQ contracts often have multiyear terms and unfunded ceiling amounts, thereby enabling but not committing the U.S. government to purchase substantial amounts of products and services from one or more contractors in a streamlined procurement process.
We delivered solutions, outcomes, and services under 5,026 contracts and task orders in fiscal 2026 and approximately 84% of our revenue was derived from 2,426 active task orders under IDIQ contract vehicles. Our top IDIQ contract vehicle represented approximately 17% of our revenue in fiscal 2026. Our largest task order under an IDIQ contract vehicle accounted for approximately 4% of our revenue in fiscal 2026. Our largest definite contract represented approximately 1% of our revenue in fiscal 2026. For risks related to our contracts, see “
