Peraton has won a potential 10-year, $953 million contract to continue providing communication infrastructure services to the Defense Information Systems Agency for data centers and hybrid cloud computing environments.
DISA received three proposals for this third iteration of its Capacity Services Communications contract, the agency said in an award notice first posted Friday.
CSC III emphasizes on-demand communications capabilities as the agency adjusts its requirements based on mission needs instead of a fixed equipment set, according to solicitation documents from February.
Peraton is tasked with providing hardware, operating software, storage, network management tools and software, automation tools and software and technical services across DISA and non-DISA sites around the world.
Work will take place over an initial five-year base period and up to five individual option years.
Peraton inherited the CSC program in 2021 through its combination with Perspecta, which purchased longtime incumbent Knight Point Systems in 2019.
Knight Point won the first iteration in 2011 and secured the recompete in 2018. DISA has obligated $573 million in task order volume against the current contract ahead of its April 2027 sunset, according to GovTribe data.
Editor's note: DISA updated its award notice post-publication to say the contract ceiling is $953 million.

Threat actors behind the Projextor campaign are abusing Electron-based productivity applications to conceal malware-like capabilities behind fully functioning document converters, meal planners, recipe tools, and PDF utilities. The applications deliver their advertised features, but their shared codebase also enables runtime JavaScript execution and access to desktop-capture functionality creating a serious surveillance and post-compromise risk. Search-optimized […]

Security researchers at Anthropic and Switzerland’s EPFL have demonstrated that self-propagating payloads can spread from one artificial intelligence (AI) agent to the next through the editable system prompt files that autonomous agent harnesses use to carry state between sessions. The work, released as a preprint on August 10, 2026, tests the technique in a simulated six-agent coding
