Competition record
CACI International
Deep profile · 1 linked library matter
CACI International supplies technology and professional services to defense and intelligence customers. It is one of the contractors in a naval-architect wage settlement that received preliminary approval on 17 September 2026 and is not yet final.
Overview
CACI is a services contractor, not a shipyard, and it staffs technical work the Navy and other agencies buy. Naval architects, the specialists who design and modify ships, are the workers in this pay case.
Those workers allege that contractors suppressed wages for the specialty. On 17 September 2026 a court preliminarily approved settlements with several contractors, CACI among them.
Preliminary approval is a first yes to a class settlement. Final approval has not been entered, so CACI's settlement is not finished.
Competition footprint
Naval-architect pay is set in a small labor market of yards, design houses, and government contractors.
CACI's role in that market is supplying people, which is a different business from welding a hull.
The 17 September 2026 order is preliminary, and class payments still depend on a final approval.
Consumer & business angle
The proposed class is the architects and designers, not the sailors on the ships.
Shipyard owners in the same preliminary order, including General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls, are separate settling contractors.
What to watch
- Whether the court grants final approval of the CACI settlement.
- Which naval-architect jobs the preliminary class actually covers.
