The contract is capped at $83 million.

CACI’s structural, mechanical, electrical and combat system expertise will help the Navy quickly and safely return submarines to the fleet.

Contracts Keep Flowing

CACI has been winning record level of awards, which reflects its disciplined business development actions, consistent operational excellence and high customer satisfaction. The company’s reliability with contracts makes it a preferred choice among contractors.

Notably, in the last reported quarter, CACI secured several notable contracts. These included a five-year, $1.1-billion task order to provide advanced and full-lifecycle information technology support to enterprise and mission technologies

Contracts in the last reported quarter were worth $2.7 billion, up a whopping 108% year over year, of which approximately 60% came from new businesses.

In March, CACI won a $249-million, six-year, single-award task order to support U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) with its advanced mission expertise.

Bright Prospects Despite Competition

Competition from Science Applications (SAIC - Free Report) in the IT services space remains steady. CACI continues to win high-value contracts and received contracts worth $2.2 billion in its October quarter.

In the IT services industry, the company also competes with IBM (IBM - Free Report) and Accenture (ACN - Free Report) , which are considered among the top IT service providers in the world.

Nonetheless, we believe that the company is comfortably positioned in this space, given its favored relationship with the DoD. Moreover, cyberattacks are creating increased awareness, leading to more demand for cybersecurity solutions.
