“With the acquisition of Engility, we are now a team of 23,000 — driven by a mission, united by purpose and inspired by opportunity,” Moraco said in a statement.

Engility has 3,500 employees in the Washington area. SAIC also has about 3,500 employees in the Washington region.

Combined, the companies have projected revenue of $6.5 billion in 2019.
