RESTON,
Va., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) announced today it has received a
success memorandum from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for the
completion of key milestones in its Electric Vehicle Charging as a
Service (EV CaaS) prototype for the Department of the Air Force
(DAF). This milestone establishes Leidos as the sole vendor
authorized by the DIU to provide a FedRAMP-accredited
budget-neutral EV CaaS solution for the Department of Defense (DOD)
and the U.S. government.
"We are honored to receive this recognition from the Defense
Innovation Unit," said Vicki
Schmanske, president of the Leidos Commercial &
International Sector. "This achievement underscores our dedication
to pioneering sustainable and efficient energy solutions that
support the U.S. government's commitment to a resilient future. We
are excited to build on this success and expand our partnership
with the DOD to enhance critical infrastructure."
Leidos completed the initial prototype milestones in under a
year, achieving significant progress in planning, designing, and
deploying third party financed EV charging facilities and power
infrastructure to electrify non-tactical fleet operations at Air
Force Plant 42, Dover Air Force Base, and Fairchild Air Force
Base.
This comprehensive effort provides government fleet and
installation leaders with a budget-neutral solution that assures
mission continuity at a pace to meet the arrival of non-tactical
EVs. The success memo means Leidos is now officially authorized to
deliver make-ready infrastructure, fully furnished and cybersecure
EV charging facilities, and a first-in-government budget-neutral EV
CaaS business model on a broad scale.
Building on this success, Leidos was recently awarded its first
production other transaction agreement by the DAF to design and
build scaled EV charging infrastructure at Edwards Air Force Base,
one of the Air Force's largest domestic installations. Under the
agreement, Leidos has created a templated model for its solution to
be deployed rapidly and securely across each of the military
services and the DOD.
