Under Salesforce\u2019s recent $5.6 billion IDIQ contract<\/a> with the U.S. Army and Department of War (DoW), the Department of the Air Force (DAF) \u2014 which includes the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force \u2014 has entered into a new $72 million Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) to accelerate digital transformation and mission readiness with Missionforce National Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news: <\/strong>The new ELA, executed as a task order under the existing $5.6 billion IDIQ ceiling, will help the DAF evolve operations from fragmented point solutions to a unified, interoperable platform. Leveraging Missionforce National Security, the DAF will modernize personnel management, enhance situational awareness, and establish a scalable foundation for future AI deployments across the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic advantage:<\/strong> “To maintain our competitive advantage, the Department of the Air Force must rapidly field modernized, secure, and interoperable data capabilities. Leveraging enterprise-wide contract vehicles accelerates our procurement timelines, optimizes resource allocation, and ensures our Airmen and Guardians are equipped with the agile technology necessary for today’s dynamic mission environments.” \u2014 Dr. Keith L. Hardiman, Deputy Chief Information Officer, Department of the Air Force<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enterprise-first approach will allow the DAF to spend less time managing fragmented contracts and more time delivering mission outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salesforce perspective: <\/strong>\u201cThis new agreement will operationalize Missionforce across the Department of the Air Force. With a single interoperable platform, we are providing the digital foundation for an Agentic Enterprise and mission orchestration at scale. With this new ELA building on Salesforce\u2019s $5.6 billion IDIQ with the DoW, the moment underscores one truth: The future belongs to those who can turn siloed data into decisive action. Together, we are proud to help ensure our Airmen and Guardians have the tools they need to move, adapt, and win at the speed of the mission.\u201d \u2014 Kendall Collins<\/strong>, CEO, Missionforce & Government Cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission impact: <\/strong>The DAF can now connect its digital infrastructure to provide a single, comprehensive mission view \u2014 across personnel, recruiting, and logistics. Missionforce National Security will empower the U.S. Air Force and Space Force to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
