Booz Allen Hamilton is gearing up for a major move, announcing plans to shift its global headquarters from McLean to Reston by 2027. The company will anchor a newly built facility in The Row at Reston Station, a development aimed at offering more flexible, tech-ready workspaces. Leadership framed the relocation as part of a broader strategy to modernize operations, streamline costs, and give its sizable technical workforce the environment needed to build and deploy advanced capabilities—from AI to cyber solutions—at the pace national missions demand.
Interior build-out starts next summer, with doors opening in fall 2027 and the current McLean office slated for decommissioning the following year. For Fairfax County, the move keeps one of the region’s largest national security employers firmly in place while adding fresh momentum to Reston’s expanding tech corridor. Comstock, the developer, called the relocation a win for the local innovation ecosystem, further cementing Northern Virginia as a hub for defense, civil, and emerging-tech talent.
Contract Opportunities: SAIC
SAIC just landed a major win with a new $1.4 billion task order to support the Department of War’s push for faster, more integrated warfighting technologies. The five-year COBRA program is designed to help military commands quickly develop and field new capabilities across all domains—air, land, sea, space, and cyber—while plugging into the broader CJADC2 ecosystem. The work aims to close the gap between concept and deployment by relying on open architectures, rapid prototyping, and digital engineering, giving commands like INDOPACOM more agility to test, refine, and operationalize next-generation tools.
For SAIC, the award reinforces its role as a major mission integrator driving modernization across the Pentagon’s most ambitious tech efforts. The company will be responsible for everything from modeling and simulation to Quick-Reaction Capabilities, secure data integration, and unmanned systems advancements.

Cleared Opportunities
Leidos is planting deeper roots in the Southeast with a new Richmond, VA office—an expansion that comes as the region faces surging electricity demand. With data centers and manufacturing growth accelerating load forecasts across Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas, utilities are under pressure to modernize infrastructure and keep power both reliable and scalable. Richmond itself is becoming a major tech and logistics hub, making it a strategic spot for Leidos to embed closer to customers who are navigating these grid challenges in real time.
From the new location, Leidos plans to deliver everything from transmission line design and civil engineering to system planning and project management, with an emphasis on grid modernization and AI-enabled energy solutions. The company says proximity matters: being in Richmond helps it respond faster, collaborate more effectively, and scale teams to match the region’s rapid growth. The expansion also supports a broader investment in local talent and community partnerships, with Leidos aiming to contribute to STEM education, sustainability efforts, and the long-term development of the area’s energy workforce.
