There is a new presence at the Hanford site. 

Leidos merged with Lockheed Martin’s Information Systems & Global Solutions business unit, making it the new lead parent company for Mission Support Alliance, the infrastructure and site-services provider at Hanford since 2009. 

Leidos is a global science and technology solutions leader headquartered in Reston, Virginia, working in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, civil and health markets. The company’s 33,000 employees are in more than 30 countries and support government and commercial customers. 

Leidos works with the Department of Defense, all branches of the military, and the intelligence community, providing systems and services for national security. On the civilian side, Leidos supports a majority of national agencies including the Department of Energy, NASA, Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as more than 500 utilities and the big three auto manufacturers. 

The company has a deep-seated performance history with customers which have energy- and environmentally-driven missions. In its tenure, Leidos has led or supported the management and operation of nearly $63 billion worth of DOE infrastructure, supported more than 20 DOE sites with National Environmental Policy Act compliance, and completed 8,300 environmental remediation projects.

“Leidos is proud to lead the Mission Support Alliance team that manages and operates site-wide services at the Department of Energy’s Hanford site. The Leidos name may be new to some in the area, but we have supported the Hanford mission through our legacy businesses, including Lockheed Martin IS&GS and SAIC for decades, and the DOE itself since its inception in 1977. Our team continues to make a positive impact on the DOE’s cleanup mission,” said Angie Heise, Leidos Civil Group president, in a statement.

MSA, the site integrator at Hanford, coordinates activities with two local Department of Energy offices and multiple contractors, and it provides site-wide services to support the cleanup mission. MSA provides critical services in a variety of areas at Hanford including business operations, emergency services, engineering, environmental, safety and health, information management and public works.  

“MSA anticipates a strong partnership with Leidos,” said Bill Johnson, MSA president, in a release. “We look forward to working with our new parent company to make a positive impact at Hanford and in our community.”
