Leidos has restarted work on a $450m US Air Force (USAF) contract that involves providing IT services to users within the National Capital Region (NCR).

The contract was originally awarded to the US-based firm in September last year. However, contract works were suspended due to protests.

The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract requires Leidos to provide classified and unclassified IT support and services to the USAF, National Military Command Center (NMCC), Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and other tenant agencies and organisations in the NCR.

Work includes IT programme management, enterprise IT operations, system engineering and cybersecurity for five years.

Contract works will be carried out at several military installations around the Washington DC metro area.

Leidos Defense Group president Gerry Fasano said: “We are honoured to support ‘no-fail’ missions operated out of the NCR by keeping military decision-makers securely connected.
