Research Findings
The investigation reveals that SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) was indeed receiving substantial government contracts during 2003-2006, despite any apparent absence from public databases. Founded in 1969 by J. Robert Beyster, SAIC had grown into a major government contractor by the early 2000s. The company went public in October 2006, raising over $1.2 billion, which demonstrates significant scale and revenue. Critically, SEC filings confirm that SAIC's indirect cost audits by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) remain incomplete for fiscal 2006 and subsequent years, with the company maintaining a $35 million liability reserve for potential audit adjustments. This indicates substantial government contract revenue subject to federal oversight. The 2013 spin-off that created the current SAIC and Leidos was specifically motivated by Federal Acquisition Regulation conflicts of interest, suggesting the original entity had extensive government contracting that created bidding restrictions. By 2004, SAIC had $6.7 billion in annual revenue and over 43,000 employees, serving DoD, intelligence agencies, and other federal customers. The evidence strongly supports that SAIC was a major government contractor during the 2003-2006 period, with substantial contract revenues under ongoing federal audit.
