MCLEAN, Va., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) today announced it has completed the acquisition of Scitor Holdings, Inc. for $790 million in an all cash transaction. This highly complementary acquisition accelerates SAIC's entry to the intelligence community by providing access to classified contracts, cleared personnel, and a robust security infrastructure.

"I am very excited to welcome Scitor employees to the SAIC family. This transaction expands the markets we serve and we are dedicated to ensuring continuity of the mission to our customers," said SAIC CEO Tony Moraco. "Together, we are redefining ingenuity in the technology integration marketplace by leveraging the capabilities from both companies to increase revenues and earnings."

Uniting our two very forward-leaning companies increases the magnitude of services we can provide for our customers and opportunities available for our employees."     

Founded in 1979, Scitor is a leading national security provider focused on classified U.S. Air Force and intelligence community programs. With annual revenues of approximately $600 million, Scitor provides critical mission support to address our nation's security needs.
