Federal technology services contractor CSRA (NYSE: CSRA) will replace Computer Sciences Corp. (NYSE: CSC) in the GovCon Index effective Monday morning.
The change comes after the completion of CSC’s spinoff of its North American public sector business and that unit’s merger with SRA International.
CSRA is based in Falls Church, Virginia, and offers information technology and professional services as part of its portfolio for U.S. government agencies.
The CSRA stub will also replace CSC in the S&P 500 as CSC moves to the S&P MidCap 400 based on the company’s market capitalization following the public sector business spinoff,  S&P Dow Jones Indices said Nov. 23.
The GovCon Index closed Friday with a nominal gain of 0.180Â points to 79.854 in a half-day post-Thanksgiving session for U.S. markets.
