What believers are saying

  • MDA awarded ITC Defense a $47.5M THAAD support contract in August 2026.
  • The new award runs five years, extending revenue through August 2031.
  • ITC Federal acquired Apriva ISS on September 3, 2026, adding classified communications depth.

What critics are saying

  • ITC Defense Corp. v. USA filed August 31, 2026 signals a contract dispute.
  • PrimeRFP tracks 51 incumbents, exposing $147.8M to recompete pressure within 24 months.

  • Its federal footprint is concentrated: 100% of obligations come from Department of Defense.
  • The company already held prior THAAD support work from 2020 through 2025.
