# DOW Awards $113M Technology Task Order

The Department of War awarded AMERICAN SYSTEMS a **$113.4 million** follow-on task order for engineering, research, technical, and program management services supporting critical technology development. Work began in June 2026 and is scheduled to continue through mid-2029, extending the contractor’s role in technology evaluation and transition support. The Defense R&D Summit on February 4, 2027, is a related industry engagement opportunity, not a solicitation.

- The follow-on award signals continued demand for technical and program management support in defense technology development; contractors with relevant capabilities may find it useful when assessing their positioning in this market.
- Procurement teams can use the work period through mid-2029 as context for planning related support needs and potential follow-on requirements.
- Companies considering the Defense R&D Summit should treat it as an engagement opportunity, not as an active bid or solicitation.
