National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Awards Leidos Prime Contract for Information Technology Management

RESTON, Va.– Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE 500® science and technology company, was awarded a prime contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) under the Information Technology Enterprise Management (ITEMS) User Facing Services (UFS) program. This single-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed price contract has a five-year ordering period with a total contract ceiling of $988 million.

The ITEMS portfolio provides NGA with a bridge to the future–delivering critical services to mission users, harnessing the capacity of current and emerging information technology (IT) services, and using geospatial intelligence to support time-sensitive missions. Leidos, with its extensive enterprise IT experience, worldwide reach and deep NGA mission knowledge, will support the customer with their ITEMS UFS needs.
