Within the industry, SAIC faces intense competition from other companies that provide similar services to the U.S. government. This competition comes from both large defense contractors such as General Dynamics Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and RTX Corporation, as well as smaller, more specialized companies that focus on IT services.
