Notable Quotes

“This is a contract vehicle… There’s no money attached to it, this is just a contract vehicle, but it reduces a lot of friction in things that just simply shouldn’t have it.” — Matthew Steckman, Anduril president and CBO

“Our strategic shift to enterprise contracts is fundamental to how we modernize the force. By consolidating hundreds of disparate contracts, we are leveraging the Army’s buying power at an enterprise scale, which has potential to yield billions in taxpayer savings and streamline acquisition processes.” — Brent Ingraham, ASA(ALT)
