General Dynamics’ (NYSE: GD) information technology business has booked a $712 million task order from the Department of Homeland Security for the continuation of its modernization of the agency’s St. Elizabeths Campus in Washington, D.C.
The task order includes enhancements in IT and cybersecurity, as well as operations and maintenance and logistics support, the company said Tuesday.
The infrastructure modernization is part of a facility consolidation initiative launched by DHS in 2011. General Dynamics Information Technology has been helping the agency set up its new main headquarters by ensuring that its new IT system meets physical security, building management and telecommunications requirements.
The latest contract has a one-year base performance period and six one-year option periods.
“The scope of the task order will allow us to support new buildings and reimagine ways to provide a secure, reliable and cost-efficient IT infrastructure that meets the evolving mission requirements of DHS and its stakeholders,” said Tom Bruno, vice president and general manager of homeland security and telecommunications at GDIT.
DHS will be part of the Potomac Officers Club’s 2023 Homeland Security Summit on Nov. 15. Click here to register.
