CSRA

What CSRA does

CSRA was a Falls Church, Virginia-based provider of information technology solutions and professional services to U.S. government customers, spanning defense, intelligence, civil, health, and homeland security missions. The company was formed in 2015, scaled to 5,001–10,000 employees, and listed on the NYSE before being acquired by General Dynamics in 2018 and integrated into GDIT (General Dynamics Information Technology). Following the acquisition, the CSRA franchise contributes to GDIT's portfolio of mission-ready technology, which is structured around three pillars — Technology (Full-Spectrum Cyber, Artificial Intelligence, Secure Software Development), Mission Solutions, and Mission Expertise — and delivered across six industry verticals: Civil, Defense, Health, Intelligence, Homeland Security, and State and Local Government.

The core technology stack combines secure software development, full-spectrum cyber operations, and applied AI integrated with cloud and edge computing for federal use cases. Documented mission solutions include the DOGMA air-defense system, which fuses satellite connectivity with cloud and AI to compress targeting decision cycles from 30 minutes to 3 seconds; large-scale electronic health record modernization for federal health clients; and communications and logistics platforms supporting presidential "no fail" missions. These are engineered as integrated programs rather than standalone commercial products, and are reinforced by dedicated investment under GDIT's VIA Strategy for technology acceleration.

The revenue model is classic federal services contracting: cost-plus, time-and-materials, and firm-fixed-price awards executed through contract vehicles such as IDIQs and GWACs, with customers concentrated in a single segment (U.S. federal and allied government). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated via long-duration program contracts, task orders, and procurement vehicles rather than per-seat or consumption SaaS. Customer concentration is therefore structurally Critical, mitigated only by the breadth of program-level diversification across dozens of federal agencies.
