History

20th century

CACI was founded by Herb Karr and Harry Markowitz, who left RAND Corporation in 1962 to commercialize the SIMSCRIPT simulation programming language. The company went public in 1968. "CACI", which was originally an acronym for "California Analysis Center, Incorporated", 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.

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

From 1984 the company was led by CEO Jack London, a former US naval engineer, who later became chairman and died in 2021.

21st century

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

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

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, and also as of 2023, where a judge refused CACI's 18th dismissal request.

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."

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. In November 2024, a jury awarded a total of US$42 million to the plaintiffs.

Competitors

Depending on the focus (USA, International), competitors to CACI include Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton, Capgemini, Infosys, Leidos, and Science Applications International Corporation.
