About Science Applications International

Science Applications International provides technical, engineering, and information technology services built around solving complex operational problems rather than selling a single product. Its work covers engineering support, technology integration, and IT modernization, along with maintenance of land and naval systems, logistics management, and training and simulation programs. It also manages the full span of IT service delivery, from design and development through deployment, operations, and security, extending into cloud migration, managed IT services, infrastructure upgrades, and enterprise IT-as-a-service offerings.

The company's work is organized around long-running service contracts rather than one-off sales, with revenue tied closely to the needs of its customer base. That base is almost entirely made up of U.S. government bodies, including the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, as well as broader Department of Defense agencies. Civilian and intelligence customers round out its client list, among them NASA, the State Department, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and various intelligence community organizations.

Science Applications International traces its founding to 1969 and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker SAIC.
