CACI International Inc. (originally California Analysis Center, Inc., then Consolidated Analysis Center, Inc., and often known simply as CACI) is an American multinational professional services and information technology company[3] headquartered in Northern Virginia.[4] CACI provides services to many branches of the US federal government including defense,[5][6] homeland security, and intelligence.[7]
CACI has approximately 27,000 employees worldwide.[1]
CACI was founded by Herb Karr and Harry Markowitz, who left RAND Corporation in 1962 to commercialize the SIMSCRIPT simulation programming language.[10][6][11] The company went public in 1968.[1] "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]
CACI's growth has been predominantly via acquisitions of other IT companies.[17]

Details are still, in 2019, under review by authorities,[59][60][61] and also as of 2023, where a judge refused CACI's 18th dismissal request.[62]
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."[63]
