- June 2026 OTA consortium additions open Army, naval surface, industrial-base, and information-warfare work.
- July 7, 2025 Greenfield added 61 avionics software employees for Navy aviation programs.
What critics are saying
- Task-order dependence leaves Saalex exposed to recompete losses and protest delays.
- Integrating Greenfield, Spalding, and Netsimco strains delivery, margins, and culture in 2025-2026.
- If Navy or MDA recompetes go against Saalex, acquisition-led growth collapses quickly.
