Overall Assessment

SAIC is a cornerstone of the US defense and intelligence contracting ecosystem, with a history of employee ownership, a strategic 2013 split into two public companies, and a current portfolio heavily weighted toward classified and unclassified government work. Its public disclosures are extensive in financial and governance areas but intentionally opaque regarding specific intelligence missions, reflecting standard practice for firms operating in the national security sector.

Stage Notes

facts

  • status: success
  • items: 25
  • summary: SAIC is a Fortune 500 defense and intelligence technology integrator headquartered in Reston, VA, with annual revenues of approximately $7.5 billion and around 24,000 employees. The company went public in 2006 after decades as an employee-owned firm, spun off Leidos in 2013, and maintains extensive classified and unclassified contracts with DoD, DHS, and intelligence agencies.

sources

  • status: success
  • items: 17
  • summary: Primary sources include SEC EDGAR filings (CIK 0000353394), USASpending.gov contract records, FEC filings (Committee ID C00300418), OpenSecrets lobbying data, Wikipedia, major news outlets (NYT, LA Times, Washington Post), and corporate press releases.

connections

  • status: success
  • items: 11
  • summary: SAIC maintains contractual relationships with numerous US government agencies, competes with firms like Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI, and Leidos, and has board connections to political and defense figures. The 2013 spinoff created Leidos as a separate public company.

public_data_ingest

  • status: success
  • items: 5
  • summary: SAIC is well-documented in SEC EDGAR (CIK 0000353394 for pre-2013 entity; CIK 0001571123 for post-spinoff SAIC), USASpending.gov (recent contracts visible), FEC (PAC filings), and OpenSecrets lobbying records. Some historical gaps exist for 2003-2005 due to pre-IPO private status and data limitations.

contradictions

  • status: success
  • items: 2
  • summary: No major contradictions found between stated corporate positions and actions. Historical gaps in lobbying disclosures during 2003-2005 are consistent with SAIC's private employee-owned structure at the time, not evidence of non-disclosure.

closed_loops

  • status: success
  • items: 3
  • summary: SAIC's employee-ownership model (1969-2006) created a closed loop where employees were also shareholders, aligning interests with government contract performance. The 2013 spinoff resolved organizational conflict of interest loops, allowing both SAIC and Leidos to pursue a broader set of contracts.

silences

  • status: success
  • items: 3
  • summary: SAIC does not publicly disclose details of its classified intelligence contracts or the specific agencies it serves beyond generic references. The company is silent on the exact nature of its work for the NSA, CIA, and other intelligence community members.

voting_records

  • status: empty_expected
  • items: 0
  • summary: SAIC is a corporation, not an elected official; therefore, voting records are not applicable.

donor_interests

  • status: success
  • items: 3
  • summary: SAIC PAC contributes to both parties, with a Republican lean (63.4% in 2023-2024). Top donors to the PAC are SAIC executives and employees. The company's lobbying focuses on defense, intelligence, and IT policy.

eo_metrics

  • status: success
  • items: 2
  • summary: SAIC benefits from executive branch contracting decisions, particularly in defense and homeland security. No specific executive orders directly targeting SAIC were identified, but the company's revenue is highly dependent on federal budget allocations and procurement priorities.

preparedness_scan

  • status: empty_expected
  • items: 0
  • summary: No public evidence found of personal preparedness measures (bunkers, second passports, remote land holdings) for SAIC executives or the company. As a defense contractor, SAIC maintains robust physical and cyber security for its facilities and personnel.

home_stats_eligibility
