Defense Agency Moves Forward with Combatant Command Network Migration
The Defense Information Systems Agency is once again attempting to add combatant command network migration work to Leidos’ existing $11 billion Defense Enclave Services contract. DISA has concluded that Leidos is the only company capable of transitioning all combatant commands to the Defense Department Network by the mandated deadline of September 30, 2028. The agency’s decision comes after a bid protest from General Dynamics Information Technology, which argued that the work should be competed given its scale. According to Federal News Network, DISA’s justification document highlights Leidos’ institutional knowledge of the DoDNet architecture as a key factor in its decision.
