Leidos has been awarded a significant contract by the U.S. Navy for operational readiness research support services. The contract, valued at $105.5 million, includes a 60-month ordering period and is expected to be completed by September 2030. This contract represents a substantial investment in the company's capabilities and its role in supporting the Navy's research and development efforts.

The contract, which was competitively procured through the System for Award Management website, was awarded to Leidos after a competitive bidding process. The company beat out one other bidder to secure the contract. The funding for this project will be sourced from fiscal research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) Navy funds.

Leidos will provide a range of services, including investigative studies, planning, coordinating, designing, and executing experimental protocols. These services will be delivered from locations in San Diego, California, and Reston, Virginia. The initial minimum amount of $1,000 was obligated in fiscal 2025, with subsequent task orders to be funded with appropriate fiscal RDT&E Navy funds.

This contract builds upon Leidos' previous work with the Naval Health Research Center, where in 2020, the company was awarded a potential $82.1 million contract to support investigative studies at the center's Operational Readiness Directorate. This latest award underscores the Navy's confidence in Leidos' ability to deliver high-quality research support services.

The contract comes at a critical time for the Navy as it continues to explore innovative solutions and forge strategic partnerships to shape the future of naval operations. The 2025 Navy Summit, scheduled to take place this year, will bring together top-tier Navy experts to discuss these very issues and more.
