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.
