US government IT and engineering services contractor supporting defense, intelligence and civilian agencies.
US government IT and engineering services contractor supporting defense, intelligence and civilian agencies.
Wins multi-year government contracts, mostly to build and run IT systems, paid as costs plus a fee, hourly rates or fixed prices, so income depends on staff billed against awarded work and on winning follow-on contracts at renewal. Its present form dates from 2013, when the old SAIC split in two and this half kept the name while the other became Leidos.
Moat: narrow (regulatory licence, switching costs, customer qualification). Security clearances and incumbency on multi-year contracts make agencies reluctant to switch.
Headquarters: Reston, Virginia, US · Founded: 1969 · Employees: 23,000
