General Dynamics Information Technology has won a $1.3 billion contract to modernize and defend the Army National Guard’s enterprise networks. The agreement also covers IT and cybersecurity services for other federal government partners.

The Enterprise Network Operations and Cybersecurity Support contract was awarded by the General Services Administration’s Assisted Acquisition Services. It includes a one-year base period and six one-year option periods.

GDIT will upgrade existing enterprise IT environments and build new ones to support mission requirements. The work includes new operations centers, workforce support, technology provisioning and on-site services.

The company will operate, modernize, integrate and defend the Guard’s classified and unclassified networks. GDIT said the work will strengthen the Guard’s cybersecurity posture and improve access to IT services.

GDIT will also apply artificial intelligence, data analytics and communications capabilities across the enterprise environment. The company said these technologies will support faster operations, stronger security and improved service quality.

“The Army National Guard depends on resilient, modern networks to support communities and government partners and safeguard the nation,” said Brian Sheridan, GDIT senior vice president for Defense. “We look forward to bringing the full strength of GDIT’s digital modernization, AI and cyber capabilities to enhance the mission readiness of the Guard and its partners.”

The award expands GDIT’s existing work with the Army National Guard and the wider U.S. Army. Its portfolio includes enterprise mission IT services for U.S. Army Europe, base defense sustainment, flight school training and mission training complex support.
