Founded in 1969 by Dr. J. Robert Beyster in La Jolla, California, SAIC established itself as an innovative defense contractor and engineering firm. Over the decades, it expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions and internal growth, relocating its headquarters to Reston, Virginia to be closer to key federal customers. In 2013, SAIC underwent a corporate separation, spinning off its scientific research and development business into a new publicly traded entity, while retaining its core IT and engineering services under the SAIC name. This restructuring strengthened the firm’s focus on government technology solutions.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Nazzic Keene, SAIC continues to advance its mission of delivering mission-critical solutions and driving innovation for its customers. The company maintains a global presence, supporting U.S. federal agencies—including the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and civilian governments—as well as allied international partners. Through sustained investment in research and development and a commitment to technical excellence, SAIC aims to enhance operational readiness and deliver long-term value to its clients worldwide.
