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.
