# WHS Awards Koniag $55M AI Support Contract

Washington Headquarters Services awarded Koniag IT Systems a potential five-year contract on September 28, 2026, to support the Office of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer’s departmentwide data, analytics, and AI efforts. The contract has an initial value of approximately $9.4 million, with $4.6 million obligated at award. For contractors, this is an incumbent-led delivery opportunity rather than an open solicitation; the award also extends Koniag’s WHS business-intelligence work, following a separate award in September 2025.

- The potential contract ceiling is **$55 million** and the work includes support for AI, data, and analytics initiatives across the Department of War.
- Companies interested in this work can evaluate subcontracting opportunities or related requirements rather than treating the award as an active open competition.
- The article identifies the 2027 Defense R&D Summit, scheduled for February 4, 2027, as an industry engagement event covering AI and other emerging technologies.
