CACI International Inc. (NYSE: CACI) is an American multinational professional services and information technology company[1] headquartered in Reston, Virginia.[2] It provides enterprise IT solutions, cybersecurity, data analytics, and software development services, with contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense,[3] intelligence agencies,[4] and other federal entities.[5]

Originally California Analysis Center, Inc. and then Consolidated Analysis Center, Inc.,[6] the acronym alone was adopted as the firm's official name in 1973, reflecting the name customers had grown familiar with.[7]

CACI has approximately 24,000 employees worldwide.[8]

History

[edit]

1960s–1980s

[edit]

CACI was founded in 1962 by Herb Karr and economist and programmer Harry Markowitz. Karr and Markowitz left the RAND Corporation to commercialize SIMSCRIPT, an early simulation programming language. They launched California Analysis Center, Inc. (CACI) to host seminars on SIMSCRIPT and offer training on the language.

In 1964, CACI contracted with IBM to develop a new version of SIMSCRIPT for IBM computers, called SIMSCRIPT I.5. CACI's SIMSCRIPT software product line added object-oriented capability,[9] and a new government contracting area: space.[10]

In 1968, CACI went public[11] and the CACI Limited (UK) subsidiary was founded in 1975.[12] In 1983, CACI launched NETWORK II.5, network simulation modeling software, and its revenue was over $100 million.[13]

2000s

[edit]

In 2004, the company generated $1 billion in revenue for the first time,[14] was recognized by Forbes for exceptional growth and profits,[15] and ranked 36th in the top 200 federal contractors.[16]

In 2020, CACI announced the hiring of former White House staffer Daniel Walsh as corporate strategic adviser and senior vice president;[17] the appointment of former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Susan M. Gordon to the CACI board of directors;[18] and the naming of retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael K. Nagata as senior vice president and corporate strategic adviser.[19]

CACI has seven lines of business: Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I); Cyber; Digital Solutions; Enterprise IT; Mission and Engineering Support; Space; and Spectrum Superiority.[20]

Controversy

[edit]

In 2003, CACI acquired Premier Technology Group, Inc., which included a “$500 million U.S. Army contract that included, in addition to information technology services, the supply of interrogators for Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison."[71] On June 9, 2004, a group of 256 Iraqis sued Titan Corporation (now L-3 Services, part of L-3 Communications) and CACI International in U.S. federal court regarding CACI's alleged involvement in the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse.

A 2017 story in The Washington Post reported that "a group of former Iraqi detainees got to make the case before a judge ... that they were tortured and that the contractor CACI International is partly to blame."[72] A judge refused CACI's 18th dismissal request in 2023[73] and details are still under review by authorities.[74][75][76]

As of April 2024, an Alexandria, Virginia, federal civil jury was deliberating whether to hold CACI liable for its employees' torture of three Iraqi citizens at Abu Ghraib.[77][78] In November 2024, a jury awarded a total of US$42 million to the plaintiffs.[79] CACI’s interrogation services in Iraq ended in 2005 when its contract with the Army expired.[71]

Competitors

Depending on the focus (USA, international), competitors to CACI include Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton, Capgemini, Infosys, Leidos, and Science Applications International Corporation.[80]
