# DISA Seeks to Expand Leidos Enclave Contract

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued a revised justification to add combatant-command network migration to Leidos’ Defense Enclave Services contract. Following a protest by General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), DISA conducted market research that drew responses from 24 companies, but says only Leidos can complete the work by the September 30, 2028 migration deadline without disrupting operations. DISA estimates a competition could cause delays and about $15 million in duplicative costs. The proposed expansion’s value is redacted, and the contract’s **$11.5 billion ceiling is not expected to increase**.

- For other contractors, the market research and revised justification indicate DISA considered alternatives but currently views schedule, scale, and continuity risks as grounds for adding the work to Leidos’ existing contract. The action follows GDIT’s protest, so further procurement or protest developments may affect the path forward.
- The combatant-command migration deadline is **September 30, 2028 (729 days from October 2, 2026)**. Firms with relevant capabilities can use the stated scope and schedule to assess potential subcontracting or adjacent support opportunities, while recognizing that no separate competition or proposal deadline is identified in these signals.
