History
Peraton was established and has grown due to acquisitions made by New York-based private-equity firm Veritas Capital. In 2017, Veritas acquired Harris Corporation's government IT services division and renamed it Peraton.[8] In 2019, Peraton acquired Solers, Inc.; the terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.[9] In 2021, Veritas acquired the federal IT and mission support business of Northrop Grumman for $3.4 billion.[10][11] In May 2021, Perspecta (a 2018 merger of DXC Technology's U.S. public sector spin-off, Vencore, Inc., and KeyPoint Government Solutions),[12] was acquired by Veritas for $7.1 billion and placed under Peraton.[13] [14]
Peraton was awarded a $2.69 billion contract by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning Data Center and Cloud Optimization Support Services.[15][16] Peraton also captured a $1B contract from the Pentagon to counter "misinformation".[17]
