"The agreement positions Salesforce as a long-term technology partner supporting data integration, AI, and cloud-based operations for one of the federal government's largest and most complex organizations. "From recruiting to the tactical edge, Salesforce is equipping our forces with technology built for today's dynamic environments-streamlining operations, increasing readiness, and enabling those who serve to stay focused on the mission," said Kendall Collins, CEO, Missionforce and Government Cloud."
"IDIQ contracts allow federal agencies to place task orders as needs arise rather than committing to a fixed purchase upfront. For the Army, this approach is intended to reduce procurement timelines and allow faster access to new technologies as mission requirements evolve. According to Salesforce, the new contract enables the Army to expand technology capacity on demand, shortening acquisition cycles from months to days. This model reflects a broader Defense Department effort to adopt commercial-style procurement practices in response to rapidly changing operational environments and emerging threats."
The U.S. Army awarded Salesforce a 10-year, $5.6 billion IDIQ contract to accelerate digital modernization and operational readiness across the Department of War. The agreement establishes Salesforce as a long-term technology partner for data integration, AI, and cloud-based operations. The contract ceiling is not a guaranteed spend. IDIQ task orders allow the Army to request capabilities on demand, shortening acquisition cycles and enabling faster access to new technologies. The Army will use cloud and data platforms to consolidate fragmented systems into a single interoperable environment that improves situational awareness and speeds strategic and tactical decision-making.
