Parsons Corp. won a $28 million task order from the U.S. Air Force to provide field site support under the Global Application Research, Development, Engineering and Maintenance 2 program, known as GARDEM 2.
It’s one of four task orders Parsons secured in 2026 under the Air Force Research Laboratory’s GARDEM program, bringing the company’s total awards to $218 million.
Under the 5-year order, Parsons will deliver onsite training, demonstrations, system enhancements, modifications, integration, testing, deployments and lifecycle maintenance for GARDEM 2 software baselines. The work supports rapid maturation, evaluation and operational deployment of new technologies for Air Force missions. Parsons has supported the GARDEM mission since 2019.
“This award highlights the Air Force’s continued confidence in Parsons’ ability to take emerging technologies from concept to operational reality,” said Mike Kushin, president of defense and intelligence for Parsons. “Our teams bring a rare combination of deep mission understanding, software engineering excellence, and field-tested execution that allows us to rapidly integrate, test, and deploy capabilities at the speed of combat where and when they are needed most.”
