Date: 2005-04-04 Added: 09 Apr 2026
Pending Review The systematic absence of SAIC from Lobbying Disclosure Act filings during 2004-2005 Intelligence Reform Act period contrasts with documented lobbying activity by major competitors including Booz Allen Hamilton and CACI International
Date: 2004-2005 Added: 09 Apr 2026
Pending Review The gap in SAIC's public contracting records coincides precisely with the company's transition from employee-owned private entity to public corporation, a process requiring careful competitive intelligence management that could explain strategic disclosure limitations independent of classification requirements
Date: 2003-2006 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SAIC's systematic absence from public disclosure databases during 2003-2005 occurred during the pre-digital era of federal contracting transparency, when the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act had not yet been enacted (2006) and USASpending.gov was not operational

Date: 2005-04-04 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The systematic absence of SAIC from multiple public disclosure databases during 2003-2005, contrasted with its known major contractor status, suggests either comprehensive Special Access Program classification or strategic disclosure management during intelligence community reorganization
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SAIC's corporate restructuring timeline (2003-2005) strategically positioned the company's public offering to coincide with the intelligence community's largest reorganization since 1947, potentially maximizing access to new DNI-controlled contracting opportunities
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The systematic absence of SAIC from public contract databases during 2003-2005, combined with its known status as a major intelligence contractor, suggests significant classified contract activity during the period of intelligence community expansion and reorganization
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SAIC's corporate restructuring timeline (2003-2005) preceded but culminated during the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act implementation, positioning the company to access new intelligence community contracting opportunities as a public company with enhanced capital resources
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 08 Apr 2026

Date: 2005 Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2003-2005 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review SAIC's absence from Lobbying Disclosure Act filings during 2003-2005 coincides with the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (2004) and DNI creation (2005), periods when major intelligence contractors would typically engage in significant lobbying activity
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The complete absence of SAIC from public contracting databases during 2003-2005, despite being a major defense contractor during a period of unprecedented defense spending growth, indicates either systematic classification of contracts or data collection limitations specific to special access programs
Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2003-2005 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The gap between the February 2003 filings and May 2004 filing (approximately 15 months) followed by concentrated activity in April 2005 suggests a multi-year process leading to a major corporate milestone
Date: 2003-2005 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Despite SAIC being a major government contractor historically known for defense and intelligence work, no USASpending contract records, lobbying disclosures, or court records appeared in the search results - this absence is notable and may indicate data retrieval limitations rather than lack of government contracting activity
Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2005-04-04 Added: 07 Apr 2026

spin-off, corporate_spinoff secondary since 2014
SAIC spun off in 2013, with parent company becoming Leidos · Leidos was created from the split of SAIC in 2013.
