In 2013, engineering and technology applications company SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) split into two separate companies—the former SAIC changed its name to Leidos, and it spun off a government services firm that retained the SAIC name, which is also a leading government contractor. In fiscal year 2017 Leidos was one of the top 25 recipients of Department of Defense contract dollars.
