Leidos Enhances Support for Military Families with $456 Million Contract
Leidos, a leading technology and solutions provider, has recently announced a significant contract worth $456 million with the General Services Administration (GSA) to administer comprehensive well-being services for over 4.7 million service members and their families through the Military OneSource program. This initiative aims to ensure that military personnel and their loved ones have continued access to vital support services that cover multiple dimensions of well-being.
Military OneSource is a vital resource for service members, offering a wide array of services including confidential counseling, parenting resources, employment assistance for spouses, tax services, and tools to help with relocations and deployments. This 24/7 service can be accessed via phone and live chat, providing support whenever it’s needed most.
Liz Porter, President of Leidos Health, emphasized the importance of easy access to these critical services, especially for military families. She remarked, "As a military spouse, I know how important it is to have straightforward access to these services. Leidos has been supporting active duty and retired military personnel, along with their families, for many years now. Strengthening the health and readiness of those in uniform is a responsibility we feel deeply across our company."
Leidos’s commitment to military service extends beyond the well-being services available through Military OneSource. The company administers a broad range of health services, conducting approximately 2.8 million health examinations each year for active-duty service members, veterans, government employees, and civilians across the United States and in 44 countries worldwide. Additionally, they provide non-medical counseling through a network of over 1,200 counselors located at more than 135 military installations across the globe.
One of the hallmarks of Leidos’s contribution to military health services is the deployment of the world’s largest electronic health record system, which serves nearly 10 million individuals across the Department of War and other governmental agencies. This system streamlines health services and ensures that military members receive the best care possible efficiently and effectively.
This expanded role in managing Military OneSource aligns seamlessly with Leidos’s NorthStar 2030 growth strategy focused on managed health services. The company is poised to further enhance the quality and accessibility of well-being services to those who have served their country.
Leidos continues to showcase its dedication to improving the lives of military families through innovative solutions and meaningful engagements. With their expertise and commitment, they ensure that the individuals who protect our nation receive the support and resources they deserve.
