Army Contracting Command is consolidating fragmented software contracts, modernizing procurement models designed for hardware, and shifting to outcome-based pricing to accelerate software acquisition decisions that currently stall on cost evaluation disputes.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you sell software to the Army more than once, they're consolidating your fragmented contracts into a single master agreement — that's a hard deadline to engage procurement before consolidation locks you in at legacy pricing. The Army is also moving from cost-based to outcome-based evaluation, meaning your pitch now needs to show what task you kill or accelerate, not how many labour hours it costs.
