LEIDOS, INC.

Three detectors fired for Leidos. Benford's Law analysis found the leading digits of award amounts deviate significantly from expected natural distribution, with digit 1 appearing in only 18.7 percent of transactions versus the expected 30.1 percent. Modification growth on contract N0003915D0044 expanded at a rate 10,507 times the initial award value, vastly exceeding the 60-fold average for peers in computer systems design. The Isolation Forest multivariate analysis flagged the entity as a statistical outlier based on its combined profile of total dollars, award frequency, agency concentration, and modification patterns.

The Benford test yielded a Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic of 0.114 with p-value near zero across 4,726 transactions. The modification growth z-score reached 18.84 sigmas, indicating extreme deviation from the NAICS 541512 peer median. The Isolation Forest anomaly score of 0.90 on a 0-to-1 scale places this entity in the highest outlier range. Leidos holds a lifetime total of 10.2 billion dollars across 4,726 awards, primarily from two agencies.

These statistical signals warrant scrutiny but do not prove fraud. Benford deviations can reflect legitimate business practices, contract structures, or rounding conventions in large portfolios. The extreme modification growth may reflect a single large program with planned incremental funding rather than scope creep. Leidos is a major defense and IT contractor with scale that naturally produces outlier statistics; the peer group for computer systems design is broad and may not capture comparable large integrators. The two-agency concentration reflects HHS focus in this dataset extract.
