CACI Receives Two DoD Nunn-Perry Awards for Advancing Technology through its Small Business Protégés
August 28, 2024 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
CACI International Inc. announced that it won two Nunn-Perry Awards for excellence as part of the Department of Defense (DoD) Mentor Protégé Program. These recognitions mark the sixth and seventh consecutive Nunn-Perry awards the company has received since 2014. This prestigious honor recognizes CACI’s collaboration with EXPANSIA, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, and Mayvin, a woman-owned small business management consulting firm that provides a wide range of professional and technical services.
"We are proud to support and mentor these small businesses, helping them grow and succeed as we work to advance cutting-edge innovation and exceptional results across the DoD and federal government,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and CEO. "These partnerships further demonstrate CACI’s ability to scale with the most talented partners and provide the best possible support to our nation’s warfighters.”
The DoD Mentor Protégé Program was established in 1990 and the award is named for the contributions of Senator Sam Nunn and former Secretary of Defense William Perry, both of whom played critical roles in the implementation of the DoD Mentor Protégé Program. The program has since expanded, providing developmental assistance to Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and others.
CACI and EXPANSIA have cultivated an enduring collaboration beginning in 2020, which has resulted in 94% employee growth and EXPANSIA has primed and won more than $33 million in DoD opportunities. Through this partnership, CACI has helped EXPANSIA to mature its solutions in Agile software development, secure cloud infrastructures, and digital materiel management.
Since 2021, CACI has helped Mayvin to expand into five new federal customers, employee headcount grew 132.5%, and revenue increased by more than $40 million. Mayvin has delivered program management, engineering and mission support, and IT infrastructure services to various government agencies, including the U.S. Army, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and DoD.
CACI also partnered with Morgan State University, a public historically Black research university in Baltimore, Maryland, to provide annual strategic planning as well as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) implementation services to improve their performance.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
