# USCYBERCOM Awards Leidos $160M Cyber Task Order

U.S. Cyber Command awarded Leidos a **$160 million, five-year OASIS+ task order** for full-spectrum military cyber operations. The work includes operational planning, threat analysis, cyber defense, and developing cyber tactics and procedures, including support to the Defense Department information network. Leidos’ capabilities from its 2025 acquisition of Kudu Dynamics contribute to the award. This is an award, not an open solicitation; its near-term relevance for other contractors is potential subcontracting and specialist support needs.

- The scope spans offensive and defensive cyber operations, threat analysis, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and tactics development; firms with relevant capabilities may find subcontracting opportunities.
- The five-year period creates sustained demand for cyber operations expertise and technical support, rather than a one-time services requirement.
- Companies positioning for related work should emphasize specialized cyber capabilities and assess whether they can support Leidos as the awardee; the signals do not identify an open competition or specific subcontract solicitation.
