GD Awarded US$4.4 Billion DoD Enterprise Cloud Contract

General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics, recently announced it was awarded the U.S. Defense Enterprise Office Solutions (DEOS) contract by the General Services Administration (GSA) in partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
 
DEOS will streamline the DoD’s use of cloud email and collaborative tools while enhancing cybersecurity and information sharing across the DoD’s enterprise based on the latest commercial technology. GDIT will stand up and accredit DEOS cloud environments as well as support the migration of existing DoD Office 365 (O365) tenants into DEOS. The DEOS environments are intended to support over 3.2 million DoD users and GDIT will provide engineering, migration, training and support services for those users. DoD estimates the value of the DEOS Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) at US$4.4 billion over a 10-year period, which includes a five-year base period with two two-year options and one one-year option.
 
Under the contract, GDIT will replace legacy DoD IT office applications with an enterprise-wide standard cloud-based solution across all military services worldwide for both unclassified (IL5) and classified (IL6) environments. This solution will allow DoD users and mission partners to more seamlessly collaborate and share information regardless of their location or DoD organisation.
