(1) This Registration Statement registers an aggregate of 16,503,585 shares of class A preferred and common stock of Registrant that were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance under the SAIC, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to an “evergreen” provision contained in the Plan. Shares of class A preferred stock or of common stock may be issued under the Plan. Shares of class A preferred stock are convertible into common stock. In addition, this Registration Statement covers an indeterminate number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of class A preferred stock. No separate consideration will be received for the common stock that is issuable upon conversion of the class A preferred stock.

(2) This Registration Statement also covers, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, any additional shares of class A preferred stock and common stock which become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Plan.

(3) The class A preferred stock is not publicly traded, but each share is convertible into one share of common stock. Therefore, the registration fee for the class A preferred stock and the common stock has been determined, in accordance with Rule 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis of $19.515, the average of the high and low prices of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 3, 2008.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is filed by SAIC, Inc. (the “Registrant”) to register 16,503,585 shares of class A preferred and common stock of Registrant (the “Stock”) for issuance pursuant to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), which shares are in addition to those previously registered on Form S-8 (File No. 333-138095) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 9, 2006, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 filed with the Commission on October 12, 2007 (the “Original Registration Statement”).

Gentlemen:

I am the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of SAIC, Inc. (the “Company”). As such, I have acted as your counsel in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) on September 5, 2008 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement covers the offer and sale of an aggregate of up to 16,503,585 shares (the “Company Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Common Stock, par value $.0.0001 per share, by the Company pursuant to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).

I am generally familiar with the affairs of the Company. In addition, I have examined and am familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as currently in effect, (iii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors relating to the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Company Shares thereunder, (iv) the Plan, and (v) such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

The Company Shares that are being offered and sold directly by the Company have been duly authorized for issuance, and when issued and sold in accordance with the Plan and the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the use of my name in the Registration Statement under Item 5 and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ DOUGLAS E. SCOTT

Douglas E. Scott

Executive Vice President,

General Counsel and Secretary
