History

CACI was founded by Herb Karr and Harry Markowitz, who left RAND Corporation in 1962 to commercialize the SIMSCRIPT simulation programming language.[10] [5] [11] The company went public in 1968. "CACI", which was originally an acronym for "California Analysis Center, Incorporated",[12] was changed to stand for "Consolidated Analysis Center, Incorporated" in 1967. In 1973, the acronym alone was adopted as the firm's official name; reflecting the name customers had grown familiar with.[13]

Their CACI Limited (UK) subsidiary was founded in 1975.[14]

In February 2020, CACI announced the hiring of former White House staffer Daniel Walsh as corporate strategic adviser and senior vice president.[15]

In April 2022, CACI announced that it had been awarded the Gold Edison Award, for its critical data dark web analysis intelligence platform DarkBlue.[16]

Controversies

Abu Ghraib

On June 9, 2004, a group of 256 Iraqis sued CACI International and Titan Corporation (now L-3 Services, part of L-3 Communications) in U.S. federal court regarding CACI's alleged involvement in the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. Details are still, in 2019, under review by authorities,[21] [22] [23] and also as of 2023, where a judge refused CACI's 18th dismissal request.[24]

A 2017 story in The Washington Post reported that "a group of former Iraqi detainees got to make the case before a judge ... that they were tortured and that the contractor CACI International is partly to blame."[25]

As of April 2024, an Alexandria, Virginia federal civil jury was deliberating whether to hold CACI liable for its employees' torture of three Iraqi citizens at Abu Ghraib.[26] [27]

Competitors

Depending on the focus (USA, International), competitors to CACI include Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys, Leidos, and Booz Allen Hamilton.[28] [29]
