Science Applications International Corp (NYSE: SAIC) is a U.S. government technology services company that delivers IT modernization, digital engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and mission systems integration to defense, intelligence, and civilian government customers. Revenue is generated through long-term government contracts, including indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task orders, under which SAIC performs services and is reimbursed on a cost-plus, fixed-price, or time-and-materials basis. The company operates two reportable segments: Defense and Intelligence, which serves the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community, and Civilian, which serves federal, state, and local government customers in areas including border security, transportation, and public health. Backlog is segregated into funded and unfunded categories, with IDIQ task orders recorded as backlog upon award. The Innovation Factory, an internal capability group, supports both segments by developing AI, cloud, application development, and cybersecurity solutions. SAIC reorganized into five customer-facing business groups effective February 3, 2024, the first day of fiscal 2025, aggregated into the two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes.
