Overview
Leidos Holdings, Inc. is a United States–based technology, engineering, and government contracting company headquartered in Reston, Virginia.[1] Public reporting and procurement reporting describe Leidos as a contractor supporting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and DHS immigration enforcement components, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as providing technologies used by U.S. immigration authorities for border monitoring and surveillance.[2]
Boycott
Leidos is listed for boycott due to documented work supporting U.S. immigration enforcement agencies, including contracts and products described as supporting border monitoring, surveillance, inspection, and vetting systems used by CBP and other immigration authorities.[2]
Public reporting describes CBP awarding Leidos contracts for non-intrusive inspection technologies at U.S. land border crossings, including portal inspection systems for screening passenger vehicles and related inspection programs.[3][4][5]
Leidos has also described being awarded a CBP blanket purchase agreement for traveler processing and vetting software development services.[6][7]
In addition, Leidos has publicly announced major DHS enterprise network support awards, describing work to support DHS secure networks and cloud capabilities integration, which are used across DHS mission operations and can contribute to enforcement capacity and information-sharing across components.[8]
Background
ICE and CBP rely extensively on contractors for surveillance and inspection technologies, traveler processing and vetting systems, cybersecurity, and enterprise IT infrastructure. Because these contracts can contribute to surveillance, targeting, and enforcement capacity, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose work materially supports immigration enforcement operations.[2]
