The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) canceled a $2.4 billion cybersecurity contract with Leidos, originally granted in February after a challenge from competitor Nightwing. Although the DHS claims that its cancellation was due to evolving IT and cybersecurity needs unrelated to Nightwing's protest, the timing raises questions. After legal objections from Nightwing, the DHS confirmed it will not reissue the contract but will explore future procurement options to meet its changing requirements.
Nightwing's legal challenge led to the DHS scrapping a $2.4 billion cybersecurity contract awarded to Leidos, despite the DHS claiming the protest was not a factor.
DHS suggested its changing IT and cybersecurity service needs, not Nightwing's protest, drove the cancellation of the contract and future procurement plans.
