Read carefully

- One bid was solicited and one was received.
- The estimated completion date is Oct. 28, 2036, so the ceiling spans about ten years.

≈2.5%
That yearly figure vs Pega's total annual contract value
Pega figures from its Q3 2026 results. Backlog Defense calculation: a ceiling is a maximum, so this is a scale check, not a revenue estimate.
Why it matters
Pega is a listed software company, not a traditional defense prime. The Army's enterprise software buying also shows in the Oct. 20 award of $307.7M to Authentic8 from the same contracting command.
- Pega reported Q3 revenue of $393.4M, up 3%, on Oct. 20.
- Total annual contract value was $1.65B, up 6%. Pega Cloud ACV was $976.0M, up 20%.
- The contract covers subscriptions, technical support and outcome-based services.
What to watch
- The size of the first orders and which Army units place them.
- Whether orders approach the ceiling over the ten years.
- Whether Pega discusses federal demand in later reports.
