The company has a valuation of about US$3.4 billion as of its last close on Friday, according to Refinitiv Eikon data.The deal with Carlyle could be announced as soon as this week, the Bloomberg report said, adding that the agreement isn&#039;t finalized and talks could still fall apart.ManTech and Carlyle were not immediately available for comments when contacted by Reuters.ManTech performs defense and non-defense contracting services for the intelligence community, the Pentagon and other government agencies. It has 9 400 employees.The outlook for mergers and acquisitions in the defense sector has been uncertain after arms maker Lockheed Martin Corp called off plans in February to buy rocket engine maker Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc for US$4.4 billion amid opposition from US antitrust enforcers. -REUTERS
