General Dynamics: $117.6 Million In Navy Awards And Contract Actions

General Dynamics business units received three Navy contract actions with a combined announced value of approximately $117.6 million for enterprise IT services, Virginia-class submarine materials, and undersea research.

The combined figure consists of a $56 million ceiling increase for General Dynamics Information Technology, a $41.6 million undefinitized contract action for General Dynamics Electric Boat, and a $20 million research contract for General Dynamics Applied Physical Sciences. The amounts have different funding and contract structures and should not be interpreted as $117.6 million in guaranteed or immediately obligated revenue.

General Dynamics Information Technology received a modification increasing the ceiling of indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract N0003925D7800 by $56 million, from $98.5 million to $154.5 million. The additional ordering capacity will support the Navy’s effort to consolidate legacy help desks into the Navy Enterprise Service Desk by October 1, 2027.

The consolidation supports the Secretary of the Navy’s Operation Cattle Drive mandate. Work will continue in Bossier City and New Orleans, Louisiana, with each location accounting for 50% of performance.

The GDIT contract is in its second performance year under an option period running from August 2026 through August 2027. One optional year remains and could extend performance through August 2028. The government did not report an immediate obligation associated with the ceiling increase, so the $56 million represents additional potential ordering authority rather than a funded task order.

The production contract followed GDIT’s successful completion of an Other Transaction Authority prototype effort that began in 2019. Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems in San Diego is the contracting activity.

General Dynamics Electric Boat received a $41.6 million undefinitized action under previously awarded contract N00024-24-C-2124. The action supports the procurement of long-lead materials for Virginia-class submarines.

Electric Boat will perform the reported work in Franklin, Massachusetts, with completion expected in June 2031. The Navy will obligate approximately $18.9 million in fiscal 2025 other procurement funding at award. Those funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.

Because the action is undefinitized, the Navy and Electric Boat will finalize certain pricing or contractual terms later. Long-lead procurement enables specialized materials and components to enter production early enough to protect submarine construction schedules. The Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair in Groton, Connecticut, is the contracting activity.

General Dynamics Applied Physical Sciences received a $20 million cost-plus-fixed-fee completion contract for Advancements in Undersea Dominance and Naval Engineering.

The Groton, Connecticut-based business will conduct studies and develop naval technologies using first-principles analysis and physics-based modeling and simulation. Work will be performed in Groton through September 2031.

The Navy will obligate $5.1 million in fiscal 2026 research, development, test, and evaluation funding at award. Those funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.

The five-year research contract has no options and was competitively procured through the Office of Naval Research’s long-range broad agency announcement for Navy and Marine Corps science and technology. Because proposals are accepted throughout the year, the Navy did not report the number submitted specifically for this requirement.

Across the three actions, the Navy reported approximately $24 million in funding obligated at award. This total comprises Electric Boat’s $18.9 million obligation and Applied Physical Sciences’ $5.1 million obligation. No immediate obligation was reported for GDIT’s $56 million ceiling increase.
