Science Applications International Corporation

Science Applications International Corporation, doing business as SAIC, operates as a large prime federal contractor headquartered in Reston, Virginia, delivering enterprise IT infrastructure, software licensing, mainframe maintenance, cloud hosting, systems engineering, and weather systems sustainment across defense and civilian agencies on full-and-open competition (no set-asides). SAIC competes as a 98% prime contractor across 247 recent awards with a combined potential value of $72.31 billion, placing it among the largest federal IT and engineering integrators.

SAIC's customer concentration anchors heavily on Treasury's Internal Revenue Service, which accounts for 69 awards ($7.24 billion combined potential value) dominated by mainframe, software, and hardware maintenance for tax processing systems—Z-series server upgrades, UNISYS and IBM hardware refresh, SCRS and ATL maintenance, and Software and Hardware maintenance contracts. The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary ranks second with 21 awards ($1.16 billion) primarily under the SAIC Enterprise IT Shared Services (EITSS) IDIQ, which funds infrastructure operations, cybersecurity, end-user support, and program management across DOT components. The Department of the Air Force (19 awards, $247.4 million) anchors weather systems sustainment and development—Return to Service contracts for Air Force Weather (AFW) cloud migration, Land Information Systems integration, Cloud Analysis and Forecast System development, authentication and authorization refresh, and satellite systems work. Concentration by potential value diverges significantly: the top five customers by dollars include NASA Goddard Space Center ($16.8 billion across 3 awards, likely from one multi-billion IDIQ vehicle), Treasury IRS ($7.24 billion), DHS CBP ($1.85 billion), Air Force ESC ($1.44 billion), and GSA FAS ($1.4 billion), indicating that SAIC anchors a small number of large IDIQ vehicles that dwarf the transaction frequency of Treasury, which places many smaller delivery orders.

SAIC holds five named parent contract vehicles: Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V (SEWP V, 67 task orders, $23 million), an IRS IDIQ (TIRNO13D00001, 62 task orders, $266.7 million), the DOT EITSS IDIQ (693JK420D500002, 25 task orders, $539 million), an Air Force IDIQ (FA460020D0002, 19 task orders, $255.3 million), and Foundation Cloud Hosting Services (17 task orders, $126.7 million). Recent representative work includes a $34.4 million firm fixed-price delivery order with DOT for enterprise IT infrastructure and support through July 2028; a $22.0 million modification to a DOT task order adding NextGile agentic AI code development services; a $21.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order with the Air Force for Air Force Weather Return to Service, Sustainment, and Cybersecurity functions through November 2027, with subcontractors including Teksystems, Summit Technologies & Solutions (HUBZone), Mccallie Associates (8(a) Alaskan Native), Shyft Solutions (SDVOSB), and Booz Allen Hamilton; and a $47.0 million cost-plus-fixed-fee Air Force delivery order for Air Force Weather systems engineering, integration, and sustainment spanning upgrades, refreshes, technology insertions, and development through November 2027.

Award activity declined year over year from 35 in 2022 to 9 in 2026, reflecting either consolidation under larger vehicles or reduced transaction volume. Eighteen awards with combined potential value of $338.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing SAIC to significant recompete activity on that timeline. Treasury IRS awards dominate this recompete cliff in both volume and dollars.

SCI-reported invoicing across 121 service contract records shows $49.8 million prime invoicing across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $16.7 million, FY2023: $9.8 million, FY2024: $10.7 million, FY2025: $12.6 million), supporting 36.3 to 53.3 FTEs per fiscal year on SCI-reportable contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts span a wide spectrum—10th percentile at $75.93/hr reflecting help desk and junior support labor, median at $147.37/hr, and 90th percentile at $1,311.66/hr reflecting specialized systems engineering, cloud architecture, and management-level labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 2% of contractor hours on average, with eight named subcontractors reported; SAIC predominantly self-performs on SCI-covered work. The SCI dataset represents a narrow slice of SAIC's federal services footprint—it covers only contracts above $150,000 and excludes goods, products, and classified work, meaning the actual federal services revenue and workforce scale substantially exceed these figures.

Named subcontract work shows SAIC serving as subcontractor to CACI Technologies and CACI Federal on Army field experimentation and Navy digital integration work, to Accenture Federal Services on Department of Energy EERE IT support, and to WSP USA on DOT Long-Term Pavement Performance technical support. Subcontract assignments to SAIC typically involve specialized technical analysis, software development, or labor augmentation rather than prime-level program management or systems integration responsibility.
