Leidos wins three contracts, worth up to $603M combined

Headquartered in Reston, Fortune 500 contractor Leidos announced last week it has won three government contracts — a $191 million Army contract, an up to $86 million National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency contract and an up to $326.5 million National Institutes of Health contract.

Under the $191 million contract, Leidos will provide integrated lifecycle software and management solutions for the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command, Software Engineering Center, C3T Directorate, Fires Division.

Leidos has previously performed mission software development work for the Army customer. The contractor will provide cyber-hardened software and systems engineering, technical services, and software integration, supporting more than seven mission software systems, including the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System.

“For the U.S. Army to deliver precise, longer-range fires to counter continuous innovation from near-peer threats, they need software systems capable of incremental modernization,” Roy Stevens, Leidos’ national security sector president, said in a statement.

The contract has a five-year performance period and a six-month option.

For the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Leidos will provide software development, systems engineering, integration and operations and sustainment services. Named Chinook, the single award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract has a ceiling value of $86.4 million, if all task orders are exercised over a five-year performance period.

Leidos will provide lifecycle management support for analytics systems including the Commercial-Joint Mapping Toolkit and the Tearline open-source intelligence system.

“Geospatial intelligence analysts use a spectrum of tools and need them to perform to support their missions,” Stevens said in a statement. “Building on our longstanding relationship with NGA, we are committed to sustaining and evolving these analysis systems for ongoing decision advantage.”

Leidos announced a contract award from the NIH on Aug. 15. The eRA Agile Software Development Support contract has a potential $326.5 million value over five years, if all options are exercised.

Under the NIH contract, Leidos will provide software development and design services to support eRA — NIH’s grants management system, which several other federal agencies also use — and other NIH Office of Extramural Research systems. The eRA system is an end-to-end electronic system that applicants and grantees use to apply for and manage grants, and that assists reviewers in the application review process. The system handles more than $40 billion annually in grants at more than 62,000 institutions worldwide.

“As the largest grants management system in the world, eRA requires continuous modernization and maintenance to sustain the work of tens of thousands of researchers and institutions worldwide,” Liz Porter, Leidos’ health and civil sector president, said in a statement. “Since 2008, Leidos has worked with NIH to enhance its modernization efforts, establishing it as a center of excellence in grants management and agile development across the federal government.”

The three contracts come after an $823 million task order from the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency, which Leidos announced at the end of July.

Leidos provides technology, engineering and science services to defense, intelligence, civil and health market customers. It has about 48,000 employees and reported approximately $15.4 billion in 2023 revenue.
