The latest contract builds on Salesforce's major $5.6 billion affiliation with the U.S. military.

Salesforce and the U.S. Air Force recently inked a $72 million contract, described as a natural evolution of the current state of military operations that aligns with the "massive revolution" kickstarted by artificial intelligence. The $72 million Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) is described by the longtime cloud-based industry stalwart as an effort to accelerate digital transformation and mission readiness with Missionforce National Security, which entails the company's focus on national security based on its work alongside the Department of Defense, the intelligence community in the Associated Aerospace and Defense Government Systems Integrator, and the defense industrial base. This ELA will allow the Air Force to connect its digital infrastructure to what it describes as a single interoperable platform to provide a comprehensive mission view across personnel, recruiting and logistics. It comes on the heels of the U.S. Army awarding Salesforce with a $5.6 billion, 10-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract in January 2026, broadening the company's scope and impact across the Pentagon.
