GDIT, CLEAR enter into federal digital identity delivery partnership. * GDIT, CLEAR have partnered to deliver digital identity offerings to federal health and civilian customers * The collaboration expands the deployment of the CLEAR1 secure identity platform in government environments * The 2026 FedCiv Summit on Oct. 29 will address AI, cloud and cybersecurity priorities The GDIT-CLEAR partnership reflects the growing focus on secure digital modernization initiatives across the federal civilian sector. Attend the 2026 FedCiv Summit on Oct. 29 to hear discussions on AI adoption, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity priorities and procurement trends shaping government operations. Reserve your spot now! Under a strategic collaboration agreement, GDIT said Wednesday it will serve as CLEAR's federal systems integrator to facilitate the deployment of CLEAR1, the company's secure identity platform, in government mission environments. What does the partnership intend to pursue? GDIT and CLEAR will develop identity management solutions through GDIT's Emerge Labs to support health and civilian application use cases. The companies said the collaboration will focus on providing secure access to electronic records and reducing fraud, waste and abuse across government programs. GDIT also noted that it has integrated CLEAR1 into its hybrid multicloud products and tools program supporting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The partnership aligns with GDIT's Vision, Acceleration and Innovation strategy, which focuses on expanding relationships with commercial tech companies to drive innovation in support of government customers. What did GDIT & CLEAR officials say about the partnership? GDIT President Amy Gilliland said the company works to help government customers deliver secure services while maintaining seamless user experiences. "Our collaboration with CLEAR strengthens that commitment by enabling agencies to work smarter with modern identity tools that are seamless, trusted and widely applicable across the federal government," said Gilliland, a 2026 Wash100 awardee. CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker said trusted digital identity plays a key role in delivering healthcare and government services. "We're proud to combine CLEAR1's trusted identity platform with GDIT's deep expertise in federal health and civilian agencies," Becker said. "Together, this collaboration helps these agencies strengthen protection of sensitive information, reduce identity-driven fraud, and provide more reliable access to the programs that patients, providers and public servants depend on." How does the collaboration align with GDIT's technology partnerships? The CLEAR agreement follows other recent GDIT partnerships focused on emerging technologies and AI for government missions. GDIT recently partnered with NightDragon to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies for federal agencies, with a focus on AI, cybersecurity and autonomous systems.
CLEAR and GDIT announce strategic collaboration agreement. May 20, 2026 1 min. read CLEAR and GDIT will deliver secure digital identity management solutions to federal health and civilian agencies. CLEAR, the security identity company, and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics, announced a strategic collaboration agreement to deliver secure digital identity management and verification solutions for federal health and civilian agencies. Under this agreement, CLEAR has selected GDIT as its preferred federal systems integrator for delivering CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, into complex mission environments. By combining GDIT's decades of mission and technology expertise with CLEAR1's trusted identity platform, this collaboration will enable agencies to provide secure and efficient access for civilians, providers and employees. Together, the companies will develop solutions in GDIT's Emerge Labs, designed to improve how identities are managed across health and civilian application use cases, including providing secure access to electronic records and eliminating fraud, waste and abuse. GDIT has already incorporated CLEAR1 into its hybrid multi-cloud products and tools program supporting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "Secure, trusted identity is foundational to how our government delivers healthcare and critical services," said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. "We're proud to combine CLEAR1's trusted identity platform with GDIT's deep expertise in federal health and civilian agencies. Together, this collaboration helps these agencies strengthen protection of sensitive information, reduce identity-driven fraud, and provide more reliable access to the programs that patients, providers and public servants depend on." "We help our customers serve the public with confidence and security while providing a seamless user experience," said Amy Gilliland, GDIT president. "Our collaboration with CLEAR strengthens that commitment by enabling agencies to work smarter with modern identity tools that are seamless, trusted and widely applicable across the federal government." This collaboration builds on CLEAR's track record as a trusted partner to government agencies, advancing more secure and seamless digital identity solutions to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.
GDIT files notice of potential layoff of 87 DC employees. The defense contracting giant has announced several other reductions in the region recently, but specifics are unclear because of the WARN Act. A defense tech giant could be laying off nearly 100 employees working in DC - but due to government contract timelines and legal requirements, it's unclear if that will actually happen. In a filing, General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) in Northern Virginia reports 87 employees will be laid off by mid-summer. Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, employers of 100 or more workers must give 60 days notice. So government contractors waiting to hear back about a project (where speed is rare) may file to avoid legal liability even if there's a chance the contract will go through. These kinds of notices are also often common during government shutdowns. It's unknown if a specific pending contract led to the GDIT notice. GDIT spokesperson Jay Srinivasan declined to comment about the filing. Earlier this month, the government contractor announced layoffs of nearly 100 employees in Maryland. In December, GDIT sent notices to 54 employees working in Rockville. GDIT is a business unit of aerospace and defense company General Dynamics, which is headquartered in Reston and has around 26,000 employees across the globe. The unit focuses on AI, cybersecurity and cloud computing for several federal agencies and local governments. That includes contracts with the Department of War, Department of Homeland Security and the Environmental Protection Agency, per its website. It's not clear how many staff are based in the DMV. The company in January announced a $120 million task order for cybersecurity services to the Air Force, and a $988 million contract to modernize Navy systems. A new defense systems innovation center built by GDIT also opened in Springfield in December. GDIT boasts $52.6 million in annual revenue as of the end of 2025, per PitchBook. Defense is generally booming under the Trump administration. Companies and startups working in national security and defense technology have been scoring historic private investment over the past few years.
