General Dynamics Information Technology has been awarded a $47.1 million Navy IT contract.

Under the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, General Dynamics will provide “program management, information technology architecture and engineering, meteorology and oceanography information technology subject matter expertise, geospatial information system subject matter expertise, cybersecurity, and information technology portfolio management for the Naval Information Forces Command, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, and other subordinate commands,” according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.

The contract includes a five-year base period as well as a six-month option, which, if exercised, would bring the total value to $52 million.
