General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has secured a $299-million contract to extend support for the US Department of Defense’s network infrastructure.
Awarded by the US Defense Information Systems Agency, the agreement covers the continuance of operational and sustainment services for the Pentagon and the National Capital Region’s digital connectivity.
Work for the network, used by over 55,000 users, will be accompanied by the optimization of related IT environments to enhance the “speed, security, and reliability” of the infrastructure.
Associated tasks will be performed for a one-year base period and two six-month options.
“Enhancing the Pentagon’s network infrastructure will further advance technological superiority for our warfighters,” GDIT Defense Senior Vice President Brian Sheridan stated.
“We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with [Defense Information Systems Agency] and reimagining new ways to provide a modern, secure and reliable network.”
GDIT’s Latest DoD Projects
GDIT’s renewal contract followed the firm’s acquisition of a cyber firm based in Florida to improve its ongoing support for the US Special Operations Command and international allies.
In May 2024, the company received a $185-million award to provide digital security services for the US Air Force’s civil engineering division in Texas.
This followed another $922-million project two months earlier to apply a widescale update for the US Central Command’s IT infrastructure.
Alongside technical support, GDIT has also partnered with the Department of Defense to assist in training courses for over 200,000 combatants under the US Army’s III Armored Corps.
