Department of War-wide contract responds to surging demand for AI-enabled software to

manage the lifecycle of military weapons systems and platforms

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Govini, the leader in Defense Acquisition software, announced it has been awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) bridge contract from Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) on behalf of the Office of the Undersecretary of War for Acquisition & Sustainment. The contract ensures Department of War (DoW) mission partners can continue and expand their use of Ark, Govini's AI-enabled software, which is modernizing Defense Acquisition across the Department.

Ark is the first and only commercial software built for the realities of Defense Acquisition. It gives professionals across the DoW a unified system to execute all phases of the Defense Acquisition Process: Supply Chain, Science & Technology, Production, Sustainment, Logistics, and Modernization. Already, the platform has transformed operations — shrinking vendor assessments from days to hours, resolving sustainment delays in weeks instead of years, and cutting resupply planning timelines from more than a day to under an hour. The result is greater force availability and faster, more confident decision-making across the Department.

"Pentagon leaders know the stakes: we can't afford acquisition that moves at yesterday's pace," said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Govini. "Ark was built to deliver speed, precision, and ultimately readiness to the Department of War. It replaces guesswork with clarity, connects acquisition decisions directly to warfighter readiness, and ensures that even under contested conditions, the systems in the field today are available and ready. This award is more than a contract extension—it is a recognition that Ark has become essential infrastructure for a modern acquisition system."

The WHS contract follows Govini's recent wins across DoW components, including a five-year IDIQ from the U.S. Army Contracting Command and Authorizations to Operate from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Space Force, further validating Ark's role as the Defense Acquisition platform of choice. Each award highlights the Department's demand for modern commercial software that delivers faster decision-making, stronger sustainment, and greater resilience in the defense industrial base.
