HOUSTON, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE:
KBR) announced today it has won a new subcontract with Bering
Straits Information Technologies (BSIT), a subsidiary of Bering
Straits Native Corporation (BSNC), in support of the U.S. Air Force
Air Combat Command to provide human performance optimization
services at various military bases around the world.
The Human Performance Optimization (HPO) contract is a
multi-award IDIQ anticipated to be executed over a span of ten
years, extending until March 2034,
and was assembled as one of the U.S. Air Force's newest programs to
enhance human performance. In support of BSIT and the customer, KBR
will provide resiliency and well-being services for military
personnel throughout the country and abroad. The contract was
specifically designed to optimize physical and cognitive
performance, decrease occupational injury rates, accelerate return
to duty, and ensure combat readiness across aircrew and warfighter
communities.
"KBR has an exceptional team of brilliant physicians, athletic
trainers, physical therapists, behavioral health professionals, and
other human performance experts. Their expertise shines through,
and this win is a testament to their
dedication," stated Byron Bright, President of KBR
Government Solutions U.S. "We are thrilled to collaborate with
Bering Straits Information Technologies and the U.S. Air Force on
this crucial mission to elevate military readiness to unprecedented
heights, building upon our past successes."
The HPO contract expands upon KBR's more than 50 years of
commitment to the wider health and human performance market within
NASA and the Department of Defense. This includes its two prime
contracts managing the physical and mental readiness of NASA
astronauts through the Health and Human Performance contract, as
well as supporting the unique resilience and well-being needs of
the U.S. Special Operations Forces under its Preservation of Force
and Family (POTFF) contract.
