Insights

Parsons secured a $137M DTRA cyber contract, strengthening government revenue streams with 5.5 years of potential work.

Parsons Corporation has secured a $137 million ceiling value contract with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for specialized cyber operations capabilities. This award represents new business for the company rather than a contract renewal, indicating genuine revenue growth potential. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with four one-year options plus a six-month option, creating a potential 5.5-year revenue stream if all options are exercised.

This marks Parsons' third task order under the Assessment, Exercise, Modeling and Simulation, and Support (AEMSS) IDIQ multiple award contract, demonstrating the company's deepening relationship with DTRA. The expanding partnership suggests Parsons is successfully leveraging its technical capabilities to capture additional market share within its existing customer base.

The award aligns with Parsons' strategic focus on high-margin, technology-driven government contracting. Cybersecurity represents a priority spending area across defense and intelligence agencies, with funding typically more resilient against budget fluctuations than conventional defense programs. For investors, this contract win bolsters Parsons' position in the growing cyber defense sector while providing backlog visibility through a potential multi-year engagement with a key government customer.

CHANTILLY, Va., June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company was awarded a $137 million ceiling value contract by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for cyber operations.
