SAIC

SAIC's $6.0M in disclosed federal lobbying puts it in the mid-tier of registered filers. Spending in the seven-figure range is common for established trade groups, mid-size corporations, and advocacy organizations that maintain a steady but not aggressive presence on Capitol Hill.

Across the 5-year window from 2020 to 2024, SAIC's annual disclosed lobbying spend has climbed meaningfully — from $1.2M in 2020 to $1.5M in 2024, a change of +17%. Step-changes of this size often coincide with major bills moving through Congress, regulatory rulemakings affecting the organization's industry, or a leadership change in the relevant committee.

SAIC's disclosed lobbying focuses on a narrow 4-issue footprint. A focused issue list usually means the organization concentrates its federal engagement on a small set of bills or rulemakings directly relevant to its core business.

1 of 4 lobbyists reported by SAIC (25%) disclose prior federal government service. That share is common at established government affairs operations that explicitly hire from agency and committee staff.

Among the named bench, lobbyists with disclosed prior federal service include Stanley L. Garnett (Former Special Counsel, White House Office). The covered-position field on LDA cover sheets captures executive-branch and senior congressional roles held within the prior two years.

Within the Defense & Aerospace sector, SAIC ranks #15 of 36 tracked organizations by disclosed lobbying spend. The sector leader is Lockheed Martin at $69.2M; the sector average is $12.6M. SAIC's $6.0M sits 52% below the sector average.

SAIC's LobbySpend Influence Score of 51/100 (grade C) is the most common grade in the index — it covers organizations with established but moderate federal advocacy programs. The score combines disclosed total spend (40%), issue breadth (30%), and revolving-door connections (30%). A C-grade is typical of mid-size corporations and trade associations with steady quarterly filings on a focused issue set.
