The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has awarded Leidos an $823 million task order to provide operations and sustainment for the Department of Defense Network program (DoDNet), the Reston-based Fortune 500 federal contractor announced Monday.
In 2022, DISA, which provides information technology and communications services for national leaders, the military services and others, awarded Leidos with a $11.5 billion indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to consolidate IT services for multiple agencies onto a single network, DoDNet.
With the five-year task order, Leidos will ensure DoDNet is secure, scalable and operational and will offer cybersecurity support, systems engineering, network architecture and management and technical support. Leidos will also provide a virtual desktop for users, allowing them to access a reliable network on any device, according to a news release.
The work will expand support from 30,000 users to more than 160,000 users, including users at 14 agencies that provide functions critical to military services. When complete, DoDNet will support about 370,000 users.
Leidos provides technology, engineering and science services to defense, intelligence, civil and health market customers. It has about 47,000 employees and reported approximately $15.4 billion in 2023 revenue.
