Leidos Gets $118M DoD Contract for Chemical Weapons Elimination Support


Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) has received a potential 10-year, $118M contract to help the Defense Department destroy stockpiles of chemical weapons.

The company said Thursday it will provide technical and administrative services to help DoD close demilitarization facilities for such stockpiles in Colorado, Alabama, Kentucky and Maryland under the single-award contract.

Tom Dove, senior vice president of logistics and mission support at Leidos, said the company has supported U.S. Army programs and made investments in capabilities and employees to carry out and complete the elimination of chemical weapons.

The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a one-year base term and nine one-year options and supports the Pentagon’s program executive office for assembled chemical weapons alternatives.
