Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) secured a $75.2 million task order under the General Services Administration’s Personnel and Readiness Infrastructure Support Management (PRISM) contract to provide engineering and sustainment services for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The award expands SAIC’s long‑standing partnership with the Navy, which spans more than two decades, and focuses on key aircraft platforms including the F/A‑18 Hornet, P‑8A Poseidon, SH‑60 Seahawk, and MQ‑25 Stingray.
The task order leverages SAIC’s predictive analytics and digital engineering capabilities to enhance reliability, reduce downtime, and extend the operational life of these aircraft. It also includes work on the Navy’s Advanced Refueling System (ARS) for the MQ‑25, a critical component of carrier air wing endurance. By integrating advanced data‑driven tools, SAIC aims to deliver best‑in‑class technologies that support both aircraft engineering (AE) and sustainment (SE) programs, positioning the company as a trusted integrator for U.S. defense initiatives.
Management highlighted the strategic significance of the award, noting that the partnership “enables us to deliver best‑in‑class technologies that support naval aviation at its core – AAE and SE sustainment – while driving revolutionary advancements for the MQ‑25’s refueling capabilities.” The contract adds a substantial, mission‑critical revenue stream to SAIC’s portfolio and reinforces its competitive advantage in securing large, technology‑heavy defense contracts.
The announcement was met with a muted market reaction, with analysts maintaining a neutral stance. The award underscores SAIC’s ability to secure significant contracts in a highly competitive defense contracting landscape and signals continued confidence in the company’s technology‑focused approach to naval aviation support.
The contract’s value and scope reinforce SAIC’s strategic focus on advanced technologies and long‑term relationships with government customers, providing a stable revenue base that supports ongoing investment in predictive analytics and digital engineering solutions.
