RESTON,
Va., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a Fortune 500® innovation leader, was
recently awarded an $823 million task
order from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to provide
operations and sustainment for the Defense Enclave Services (DES)
Department of Defense Network (DoDNet) program. DISA is working
with Leidos through the single-award, $11.5
billion, 10-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
DES contract to optimize network services for Fourth Estate Defense
Agencies and Field Activities (DAFAs) as they migrate from their
legacy systems to the modernized, consolidated DoDNet.
This five-year task order award establishes the long-term
operations and sustainment construct that will expand support from
just over 30,000 users to more than 160,000 users, including 14
additional DAFAs to be migrated to DoDNet. Leidos will help ensure
the DoDNet environment is secure, scalable, and operational by
providing resilient and flexible IT solutions, including
cybersecurity support, systems engineering, network architecture
and management, and comprehensive technical support. DoDNet is
projected to support approximately 370,000 DAFA users and
workstations once implementation is complete.
This effort provides a more diverse and scalable service
offering for the DoDNet user community, including a new Virtual
Desktop as a Service solution, supporting DISA's strategic vision
of DoDNet to deliver a highly available and reliable network
anytime, anywhere, and for any device.
"As one of DISA's largest IT service providers, Leidos is
focused on leveraging our innovation, speed, and agility to deliver
an exceptional user experience and establish a strong foundation of
operations and maintenance support to expand the DoDNet user
community," said Steve Hull, Leidos
digital modernization sector president. "By delivering the
standardized DoDNet, our goal is to enable more efficient service
delivery and support across DAFAs to advance the mission of our
nation's warfighters and secure our combat operations around the
world."
Leidos has been leading operations for the DES program since
February 2022.
