About Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Cor
About Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Cor
Booz Allen Hamilton derives substantially all revenue from U.S. government defense, intelligence, and civil missions, with 84% of fiscal 2026 revenue flowing from 2,426 active task orders under IDIQ contract vehicles. The top IDIQ vehicle alone accounted for approximately 17% of revenue in fiscal 2026. At March 31, 2026, the company employed roughly 31,500 people across 23 countries, with about 77% holding security clearances. The Department of Veterans Affairs was the single largest civil customer, contributing 10% of total revenue in fiscal 2026.
Revenue flows through three contract types: cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, and fixed-price. A recent executive order titled "Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting" directs federal agencies to increase firm-fixed-price contracts for new awards and to restructure existing high-dollar contracts to fixed-price where practicable; Booz Allen notes this shift may increase the company's risk of incurring losses as fixed-price contracts transfer cost-overrun exposure to the contractor. The company operates as a single profit-and-loss center, enabling multidisciplinary team assembly across defense, intelligence, and civil markets. Core defense customers include all six branches of the U.S. military, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Joint Combatant Commands; intelligence customers include the National Security Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency. In fiscal 2026, win rates were 57% on new contract awards and 89% on recompeted contracts across 5,026 total contracts and task orders.

Congressional appropriations govern task-order funding, and the 10-K notes that a government shutdown, failure to raise the debt ceiling, or spending review could delay, reduce, or terminate active contracts. Booz Allen has already experienced contract impacts, reductions, and cancellations resulting from the U.S. government's review of federal spending, which has reduced total backlog. NDAA fiscal 2026 provisions aim to curb incumbent bid protests, though the 10-K cautions it remains too early to predict the practical impact on protest rates. In April 2026, the company disclosed via Form 8-K the appointment of Troy Lahr as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective May 4, 2026.
