According to a WSJ article regarding Lockheed Martin's purchase of Sikorsky, it says, "At the same time, Lockheed said it would divest a similar-size group of government information technology and services businesses."

I wonder if that includes the AFSS business?

It's certainly possible, but Lockmart's IS&GS division is a huge government IT contractor, so the chance of it being something else is certainly good.

I doubt it. AFSS includes IT, but it isn't IT by itself.

MUCH more likely, it's stuff like the ODIN initiative, which won't affect you unless you work at a NASA site.

I think the FSS contract is pretty profitable for LockMart, so would be odd of them to divest that.
