Leidos was awarded this contract under the DoDIAC's multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle. These IAC MAC task orders are awarded by the US Air Force's 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the Defense Technical Information Center repository and the R&D and science and technology communities.
“A resilient energetics supply chain will help ensure our warfighters are ready for any conflict, while reducing our (US) nation’s reliance on foreign sources,” said Mike Diggins, Leidos senior vice president and homeland and force protection business area leader. “With more than three decades supporting energetics R&D at Picatinny Arsenal, our team will help the DoD synthesise and scale-up domestic minerals and materials production.”
The United States' DoDIAC, sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center, provides technical data management and research support for DoD and federal government users. Established in 1946, the IAC programme serves the DoD science & technology (S&T) and acquisition communities to drive innovation and technological developments by enhancing collaboration through integrated scientific and technical information development and dissemination for the DoD and broader S&T community.
