Leidos has won a contract valued up to $206 million from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Reston-based Fortune 500 contractor announced Wednesday.
Under the single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, dubbed Maru, Leidos will sustain and modernize geospatial processing for the NGA’s Exploitation Services Program. The contract extends existing software services, according to a March 22 NGA contract announcement.
The contract has a ceiling of $206 million, if all task orders are exercised over a five-year period. The initial task order award is $81 million, according to the NGA.
“Geospatial analysts and data scientists face a deluge of data at a demanding pace,” Roy Stevens, president of Leidos’ National Security Sector, said in a statement. “Leidos’ intelligence analysts and software experts are working together to create better geospatial tools to support NGA’s mission.”
Leidos will provide mission software development, sustainment and technology insertion, testing and user acceptance and enterprise deployment of analytical capabilities for geospatial processing. The contractor will be working on systems that support NGA’s day-to-day operations, including imagery and geospatial analysis.
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.
