Leidos won a $276 million task order with the Defense Department Information Analysis Center for the research and development of critical minerals and materials used in munitions, and to promote energetics supply chain resiliency.
This contract falls under the DoDIAC’s multiple-award contract vehicle, which are awarded by the U.S. Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron.
DoDIAC is sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center and provides technical data management and research support for DOD and federal government users.
“A resilient energetics supply chain will help ensure our warfighters are ready for any conflict, while reducing our nation’s reliance on foreign sources,” said Mike Diggins, Leidos senior vice president and homeland and force protection business area leader. “With more than three decades supporting energetics R&D at Picatinny Arsenal, our team will help the DOD synthesize and scale-up domestic minerals and materials production.”
