CACI International Inc. won a $212 million, five‑year task order to deliver software‑defined enterprise‑level network modernization for the U.S. Space Force. The award, announced on December 31, 2025, will provide reliable, secure, and modernized base‑area network (BAN) capabilities across 14 Space Force installations, enabling high‑bandwidth, high‑security operations in a contested domain.
The contract was awarded at 77 percent below the initial government estimate, underscoring CACI’s ability to deliver cost‑effective solutions. The task order is part of the Base Infrastructure Modernization (BIM) initiative and follows a similar $180 million, five‑year order secured in September 2025 for the Pacific Air Forces’ Base Area Network. Together, the two contracts position CACI to capture further opportunities in broader Department of Defense network modernization efforts.
CACI’s Q1 FY2026 earnings, released earlier in the year, showed revenue of $2.3 billion—an 11.2 percent year‑over‑year increase—and an EBITDA margin of 11.7 percent, up from 11.2 percent in Q4 FY2025. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand in core government segments and disciplined cost management, allowing the company to maintain margins despite a modest revenue decline in legacy services. The new task order adds a predictable, recurring revenue stream that will help sustain the company’s margin trajectory.
CEO John Mengucci highlighted the strategic significance of the award, noting that “CACI stands with America’s Guardians, delivering insights and keeping pace with evolving threats to ensure the Space Force has connectivity, across all classifications, when they need it most.” The award reinforces CACI’s shift toward high‑margin, technology‑driven services and aligns with the federal government’s broader push to modernize IT service delivery under the Government Service Delivery Improvement Act.
The contract’s value and duration reinforce CACI’s competitive position in the defense contracting space, strengthening its portfolio and providing a platform for future growth. The award also complements CACI’s planned acquisition of ARKA Group L.P. for $2.6 billion, which is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and will broaden the company’s presence in the space sensor and optics market.
The addition of this task order, combined with CACI’s robust financial performance and strategic acquisitions, signals a continued focus on high‑margin, software‑defined solutions that are expected to drive long‑term growth and reinforce the company’s leadership in national security technology.
