CHANTILLY, Va., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that it has been awarded a $70 million ceiling task order under the U.S. Air Force's Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) contract to provide integration, testing, deployment, maintenance, and operational transition support for operational capabilities throughout the USAFE-AFAFRICA region. The task order has a four-year period of performance with three 12-month option periods and expands upon Parsons' ongoing support of the Air Force's ABAD mission.
"Parsons is honored to continue supporting the U.S. Air Force's critical force protection mission across Europe and Africa," said Mike Kushin, president of Parsons' Defense and Intelligence business. "This award reflects our proven ability to integrate and operationalize exquisite defense capabilities in complex, fluid environments. By expanding our role on the ABAD program, we will help strengthen the readiness, resilience, and protection of U.S. and allied forces throughout the USAFE-AFAFRICA theater."
