General Dynamics Information Technology has been awarded the Environmental Protection Agency High-End Scientific Computing II Support Services task order.

The contract has a total value of $89.5 million with a 1-year base and six option years.

The HESC program provides EPA researchers and scientists the supercomputing hardware, modeling and data visualization capabilities needed to solve complex research problems. Applications include atmospheric modeling, computational fluid dynamics, bioinformatics, computational chemistry and statistical modeling.

“We are proud of our continuous support to the EPA since 1978, and this new task order provides our scientific computing experts and the company’s HPC Center of Excellence the opportunity to meaningfully advance EPA’s critical mission,” said Kevin Connell, GDIT vice president and general manager for science and engineering.

GDIT will provision, maintain and support the agency’s high-performance computing environment, as well as deliver infrastructure support, environmental and life sciences modeling, and scientific consulting to EPA investigators. GDIT will also provide technical support for scientific computing projects performed in on-premise, cloud or hybrid environments.

This task order continues the supercomputing expertise provided by GDIT and its HPC Center of Excellence supporting programs across civilian and health agencies and the Defense Department.

Last year, GDIT built and deployed two supercomputers, currently ranked No. 46 and 47 fastest in the world, to support the next generation of weather forecasting models for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service.
