RESTON, Va., March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE(®) 500 science and technology leader, has been awarded a $962 million contract by the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Atlantic to provide engineering and information warfare services for cyber missions. The multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, hybrid cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a five-year base ordering period followed by two one-year option periods.
