General Dynamics Information Technology has won a $383 million training support services contract with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Virginia.
The contract is awarded on behalf of Surface Combat Systems Training Command, which provides the Navy with highly trained warfighters to maintain, operate and tactically employ surface combat systems. The award has a 1-year base period and four option years.
“For over 30 years, we have supported a wide range of Navy training activities,” said Brian Sheridan, GDIT senior vice president for defense. “We are looking forward to continuing to provide the Navy with modern training services to strengthen its overall fleet operations and warfighting readiness.”
Under the contract, GDIT will train more than 100,000 U.S. and allied sailors in classroom and simulation settings ashore and aboard Navy warships around the world. GDIT will provide instructor support, curriculum development, training aids and program management services.
This work also expands GDIT’s training support services portfolio across the Defense Department.
