G2X TAKE: SAIC is at it again. Only a year removed from their huge acquisition of Engility comes word that this leading Federal technology integrator makes another big buy, this time adding a major FedCiv player who has been riding a hot streak of late and that carries a broad set of Prime GWAC and FedCiv specific contract vehicles (see list here).
Take Bytes
- This is just the latest in a string of strategic actions for SAIC, to include the $2.5B acquisition of CIO-SP3, OASIS, and Alliant 2 Prime, Engility, a longtime partner to numerous Federal Civilian agencies this time last year; a strategic partnership they signed with Franklin Venture Partners last year to broaden its access and exposure to emerging technologies developed by startup companies across the United States; and the recent news that they are partnering with AI Provider Espressive to Bring Next Generation IT User Experience to Government Customers.
- SAIC was recently named one of the NXT UP firms poised to make big waves in the Federal sector in 2020 and for years to come.
- Just a few of the recent FedCiv wins by Unisys that likely increased their valuation include:
- Department of Transportation awards $650M Enterprise IT Shared Services (EITSS) Unrestricted IDIQ
- Unisys announces $144M NOAA Cloud Initiative BPA
- GSA makes CIO Modernization and Enterprise Transformation (COMET) awards
- Unisys selected to participate in $70 million contract to provide IT services to the U.S. Mint
- Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) awards $69M Cloud Managed Service BPA
- and some of the recent hires and industry moves don’t hurt either:
