Reston, Virginia-based Fortune 500 federal contractor Science Applications International Corp. announced Tuesday it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Columbia-based SilverEdge Government Solutions from private equity firm Godspeed Capital for $205 million in cash.

SilverEdge provides technology services and products, such as generative artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analysis and digital transformation. The company’s clients include the intelligence community and Department of Defense (currently being rebranded by President Donald Trump as the Department of War).

SAIC says SilverEdge’s products and expertise will allow it to enhance its offerings to customers and national security missions.

“SilverEdge’s people, culture and innovative approach have driven impressive growth,” SAIC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley said in a statement. “…They share our commitment to advancing National Security missions with speed, and together, we will deliver an expanded suite of products and commercial technologies to help the Department of War and intelligence community achieve their most critical objectives.”

SAIC did not immediately return requests for comment seeking more information on what will happen to SilverEdge’s leadership, workforce or branding post closure.

“From day one, our vision was to deliver next-generation cyber, software and intelligence solutions that disrupt the status quo,” SilverEdge CEO Robert J. Miller III said in a statement. “That mission aligns perfectly with SAIC’s focus on innovation and national security. By joining forces, we will continue to push boundaries, expand our capabilities, and deliver even greater value for our customers.”

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions.

SAIC has about 24,000 employees and reported annual revenue of $7.48 billion for fiscal 2025.
