CACI wins up to $1.3B defense contract

CACI International won an up to $1.3 billion defense contract supporting the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command, the Reston-based Fortune 1000 contractor announced Monday.

Under the five-year task order, CACI will provide communications and information technology solutions, modernizing critical software and hardware, optimizing network IT and communications and providing support for more than 11,000 end users across 60 locations. Two of the U.S. military’s 11 unified combatant commands, USEUCOM and USAFRICOM conduct global operations with NATO, allies and mission partners to deter conflict and respond to crises.

CACI’s work will include cloud enablement, edge computing, Commercial Solutions for Classified Program work (part of the National Security Agency’s commercial cybersecurity strategy), integration into the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) — the Defense Department’s mission to provider “sensor-to-shooter” connectivity from each military branch into a single network — and advanced cybersecurity and zero trust solution implementation.

“CACI’s proven performance delivering responsive IT and communications in complex, multiregional [outside the contiguous United States] environments, coupled with our leading-edge technical solutions and accelerators, enhance USEUCOM and USAFRICOM’s rapid response capabilities,” CACI President and CEO John Mengucci said in a statement. “We are uniquely positioned to equip the warfighter to successfully execute their missions and enhance communication, collaboration and coordination with partner nations.”

Founded in 1962, CACI, a professional services and IT company, has 23,000 employees and reported $6.7 billion in fiscal 2023 revenue.
