December 19, 2025 – Parsons Corporation has landed one of the most significant defense construction contracts of the year, securing a coveted position on the U.S. Air Force’s $15 billion Comprehensive Construction & Engineering Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC).
The announcement, made December 18, positions the global engineering firm as a key player in modernizing American military infrastructure across the globe.
What the $15 Billion Air Force Contract Means for Defense Infrastructure
The Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) awarded Parsons this prestigious MATOC seat, which carries a ceiling value of $15 billion over its potential ten-year lifespan.
The contract structure includes an initial five-year ordering period, with five additional one-year option periods that could extend work through 2035.
Under this comprehensive agreement, Parsons will compete for individual task orders covering the full spectrum of military construction needs.
The scope encompasses designing and building new facilities from the ground up, managing complex construction programs, maintaining existing infrastructure, and executing renovation and restoration projects at aging military installations.
Global Reach: From Stateside Bases to Overseas Installations
What sets this contract apart is its truly global mandate. Parsons will support U.S. Air Force installations worldwide, along with Department of War facilities spanning multiple continents.
This international scope reflects the Air Force’s commitment to maintaining operational readiness at hundreds of installations, from remote forward operating locations to major command centers.
The contract addresses a critical need as military infrastructure faces mounting challenges from aging facilities, evolving mission requirements, and climate-related threats.
Many Air Force bases operate buildings constructed during the Cold War era, requiring extensive modernization to support contemporary military operations and emerging technologies.
Competitive Edge in Federal Construction Market
Landing a MATOC seat represents a significant competitive advantage in the federal construction marketplace.
Unlike traditional single-award contracts, MATOC structures allow the Air Force to quickly assign projects to pre-qualified contractors without lengthy procurement processes.
This streamlined approach accelerates project delivery while maintaining competitive pricing through task order competitions among MATOC holders.
For Parsons, this award reinforces the company’s position as a trusted partner for complex government infrastructure projects.
The firm brings decades of experience in military construction, having previously delivered critical infrastructure for defense clients worldwide.
This contract win expands Parsons’ federal portfolio at a time when Congress has authorized substantial increases in military construction funding to address deferred maintenance and facility modernization needs.
Industry analysts view federal construction contracts like this MATOC as particularly valuable due to their long-term nature and stable funding streams, providing contractors with predictable revenue opportunities over multiple years.
