Herb Karr and Harry Markowitz founded CACI in Los Angeles in 1962 as the California Analysis Center. Markowitz, who later won the Nobel Prize in Economics for modern portfolio theory, helped build the early simulation and software business that gave the company its analytical foundation.

The company moved its headquarters to the Washington, DC area as it shifted from commercial software toward government work, building a defense IT franchise through the Cold War and into the post-9/11 security expansion. The counterterrorism era drove rapid growth in intelligence and cybersecurity services.

Under CEO John Mengucci, who took over in 2019, CACI has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, buying companies including SA Photonics, ID Technologies, Bluestone Analytics, and Azure Summit Technology to deepen capabilities in laser communications, secure networks, and signals intelligence. The company has grown revenue consistently year over year through the 2020s on defense modernization demand.

CACI operates under corporate sustainability and ethics reporting frameworks, including ethics programs required of major government contractors. Its environmental footprint is modest relative to manufacturers, as its business is primarily professional services and software. Defense work carries inherent ethical considerations that the company addresses through its code of conduct and government contract compliance.

CACI faced its most significant controversy in the mid-2000s, when interrogation contracts in Iraq linked the company to the Abu Ghraib scandal. Former detainees sued the company, alleging its contract interrogators contributed to abuse. The litigation ran for more than a decade before a jury verdict in 2024 awarded $42 million to three plaintiffs, a result CACI contested and appealed. The case remains one of the most prominent private-contractor liability cases from the Iraq war era.
