General Dynamics Information Technology has received a $1.25 billion task order under the Enterprise Mission Information Technology Services 2 contract to continue supporting U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
The task order, awarded in September, includes a 5-month transition period and seven option years. Under the award, GDIT will provide enterprise IT, communications and mission command support to the command’s headquarters, subordinate units, NATO and other partners across its theater.
Additionally, the company will modernize network infrastructure, strengthen cybersecurity, and advance the mission partner network. Work will also integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing and data analytics to improve interoperability and speed decision-making.
“A modern, secure and resilient IT network is critical to U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s deterrence and readiness posture,” said Brian Sheridan, GDIT’s senior vice president for Defense. “We look forward to continuing to deliver a modern digital backbone that will enable our soldiers and commanders to stay connected, coordinate seamlessly with mission partners and act decisively on the battlefield.”
The task order extends GDIT’s long-standing partnership with the Army in delivering mission-critical services, the company said. Earlier this year, GDIT received an Integrated Base Defense Sustainment Support task order to strengthen the security and readiness of Army installations. The company also provides advanced training support to hundreds of thousands of soldiers across the force.
