Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) will continue helping keep more than 650,000 U.S. Navy and Marine Corps personnel securely connected by managing more than 425,000 devices at more than 2,500 sites around the world.

The Navy recently awarded Leidos $875 million for the second option year of the Next Generation Enterprise Network Service Management, Integration and Transport contract. The company is responsible for all aspects of user support, operations and IT transformational activities on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), Outside the Continental United States Navy Enterprise Network (ONE-Net) and Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN).

"Military and civilian personnel rely on these networks to communicate, make decisions and carry out missions that protect our nation and its allies," said Steve Hull, president of Leidos Digital. "We're supporting the technology they depend on so it remains secure, resilient and ready when they need it."

Since being awarded the contract in 2020, Leidos has helped the Navy and Marine Corps modernize their IT environments while improving network resilience. The company has introduced automation that delivers patches to network devices 93% faster and accelerates patching across the enterprise by 94%, addressing vulnerabilities sooner and reducing potential disruptions for personnel who rely on these networks.

"During my time in the Navy, I learned that when technology works seamlessly in the background, you're free to give the mission your full attention. These results reflect our team's 24/7 dedication to making that possible," said DJ LeGoff, a retired Navy captain and the Navy and Marine Corps portfolio leader at Leidos.

This award supports Leidos' NorthStar 2030 strategy and its focus on digital modernization, cyber capabilities and mission software.
