HOUSTON – KBR Inc . (NYSE: NYSE:), a global provider of technology and engineering solutions, has secured a subcontract to support the U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command’s Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program.

The company will work with Bering Straits Information Technologies (BSIT), a subsidiary of Bering Straits Native Corporation, to deliver resiliency and well-being services to military personnel both domestically and internationally.

The HPO contract is a multi-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement that extends for a decade, aiming to enhance physical and cognitive performance among aircrew and warfighters. The program’s objectives include reducing occupational injuries, expediting return to duty times, and ensuring combat readiness.

Byron Bright, President of KBR Government Solutions U.S., expressed confidence in the company’s team of health professionals, highlighting their role in achieving this new milestone. “Their expertise shines through, and this win is a testament to their dedication,” said Bright.

KBR’s involvement in the HPO contract builds on its longstanding commitment to health and human performance markets, which spans over 50 years. The company has a history of managing similar projects for NASA astronauts and U.S. Special Operations Forces.

The company, which employs approximately 34,000 people worldwide and operates in over 30 countries, is known for delivering science, technology, and engineering solutions to government and commercial clients globally.

While the announcement reflects KBR’s expanding role in supporting military readiness, it also contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations.

The company cautions against placing undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on current projections and speak only as of the date of the press release.
