Parsons Corporation announced that Altamira, a Parsons company, was awarded a task order supporting the National Air & Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) to support the development, delivery, maintenance, sustainment, and enhancement of capabilities within the Collaboration Collection under the Services of Common Concern (SoCC). The $63 million ceiling value, four-year task order is new work for the company.
“Our customers trust Parsons and Altamira to deliver secure, reliable, and mission-focused capabilities,” said Mike Kushin, president, Defense & Intelligence for Parsons. “We are proud to support NASIC’s Collaboration Collection, helping advance technologies and services that enable timely, effective information sharing across mission critical environments.”
Under the contract, Altamira will sustain and enhance operational software, including operations and maintenance activities, in alignment with the government’s vision for the Collaboration Collection.
“This award builds on Altamira’s deep technical expertise and our understanding of the mission environment,” added Cassie Kurtz, vice president for Altamira. “Our focus is not simply sustaining today’s capabilities but continuously evolving them to improve how mission users collaborate, share information, and respond to changing operational needs. We’re excited to continue delivering capabilities that are secure, scalable, and built for the mission.”
This task order also includes development activities focused on advancing the Collaboration Collection. Together, these efforts will support the continued evolution of interoperable, secure, scalable, and mission-focused collaboration capabilities and enable more effective information sharing across mission environments.
Parsons acquired Altamira Technologies Corporation in January 2026 to strengthen its position in the defense, intelligence, cyber, and space markets. Altamira brings highly specialized capabilities in signals intelligence (SIGINT), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), cyber operations, missile warning, AI/ML-enabled analytics, and space-based mission support, along with deep relationships across the U.S. Intelligence Community. Combined with Parsons’ strengths in all-domain technology integration, electronic warfare, missile defense, biometrics, cyber, and operational mission delivery, the acquisition creates a more comprehensive national security platform capable of delivering intelligence-driven solutions across all domains. The combination enhances Parsons’ ability to rapidly transition advanced technologies into operational capabilities, expand its Intelligence Community footprint, and provide customers with end-to-end mission solutions that accelerate decision-making, improve threat detection, and strengthen warfighter readiness. Altamira will fully integrate into Parsons Corporation in 2027.
