Falls Church-based federal contractor General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. has been awarded a $908 million contract to support IT and network systems operated by the U.S. Air Forces in Europe.

The award is for the single-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Europe-Wide Information Technology and Enterprise Network contract run by the 764th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. It has a five-year base period with a three-year option.

Task orders include modernizing and supporting existing infrastructure, networks, systems, operations and maintenance, cybersecurity and managing new requirements and emerging technology, according to a news release from GDIT. The work will be done at various facilities in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Turkey and other countries in Europe.

“This contract will equip airmen across Europe with the knowledge, tools and data they need to mobilize and operate at any place and any time,” Brian Sheridan, senior vice president for GDIT’s defense division, said in a statement. “Consolidating multiple mission-critical services under a single contract will also allow for greater speed, flexibility and accessibility of IT services needed across the region.”

GDIT is a business unit of Reston-based Fortune 500 aerospace and defense contractor General Dynamics Corp., an aerospace and defense company that employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and generated $38.5 billion in revenue in 2021.
