RESTON,
Va., Sept. 7,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE®
500 science and technology leader, was recently awarded the
Homeland Enterprise Information Technology Secure Services and
Support (HEITS) follow-on contract to support and enhance the

period of performance and six one-year options. The contract has a
maximum value of $918 million if all
options are exercised.
"This contract continues our strong relationship with DHS," said
Roy Stevens, Leidos Intelligence

and secure collaboration for federal and civilian agencies, we'll
help DHS accomplish their mission of safeguarding the homeland. Our
team will be focused on delivering capabilities like quantum
resistant cryptography, artificial intelligence (AI) operations,
robotic process automation and classified cloud service
integration."
Leidos will provide program management, operations and
maintenance, systems engineering, training, information assurance
and classified and unclassified cloud computing capabilities
integration and services to DHS. This should enable the continued
