Overview
BigBear.ai sells AI and analytics software and services to US defence, intelligence and homeland-security customers. Revenue in 2025 was US$127.7 million[27]. The company is based in McLean, Virginia, and had 579 employees at the end of 2025, the large majority in the United States and holding security clearances; about 67% of its workforce are software engineers, data scientists and related specialists[27]. Its 10-K describes a balance-sheet change after year-end that substantially reduced debt, which it says lets it invest from a stronger position[27]. Revenue depends on government contract awards and their timing, and the company competes with Palantir and large defence contractors for the same programmes.
