CACI International‘s (NYSE: CACI) federal arm and Peraton‘s risk decision group have each won a potential $2.25 billion contract to help the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency run background checks on U.S. government applicants and contractor personnel.
The two companies will carry out background investigation fieldwork work nationwide over a five-year period, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
DCSA received four bids for the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts and obligated $50 million on the initial orders under both IDIQ awards.
The Office of Personnel Management’s National Background Investigations Bureau transferred the responsibility for investigating individuals who seek security clearances to DCSA in October 2019.
