CACI International (CACI - Free Report) recently secured a single-award contract from the U.S. Navy. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, which is called Spectral, will run over the next seven years and is worth up to $1.2 billion.

Per the mission technology contract, CACI will work with the U.S. Navy for developing and deploying the next generation of shipboard signal intelligence, electronic warfare and information operation weapon systems. The company has planned to adopt the open-architecture approach to provide the U.S. Navy with cutting-edge technologies and support for continuous software enhancement work.

The president of National Security and Innovative Solutions at CACI, Todd Probert, said, “We will use our decades of innovative software experience, world-class Agile software development, and DevSecOps to converge SIGINT, Cyber and EW into scalable, networked, and distributed warfighting capabilities that outpace evolving threats.”

CACI has been winning a record number of deals for a while, reflecting its disciplined business development actions, consistent operational excellence and high customer satisfaction. The reliability provided by CACI’s services makes it a preferred choice among contractors.

In the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, CACI secured several notable deals, including a $5.71 billion blanket purchase agreement from the U.S. Air Force to provide enterprise IT services under the Enterprise Information Technology as a Service Wave 1 contract. The company clinched a $174 million contract to offer mission expertise and innovative solutions to the U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command for the advancement of naval ship machinery, systems, equipment and structural performance while reducing costs.

These back-to-back wins are the key catalysts for the company, which boasts a large pipeline of new projects and wins deals at regular intervals. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the company won contracts worth $1.1 billion and ended the quarter with a total backlog of $25.3 billion.
