GDIT secures $396M Special Operations Command contract

General Dynamics Information Technology won a $396 million contract to support the U.S. Special Operations Command, the Falls Church federal contractor announced Friday.

Awarded in April, the Information Technology Enterprise contract has a one-year base period and four option years. The subsidiary of Reston-based Fortune 100 aerospace and defense company General Dynamics will provide enterprise IT services to support Special Operations Forces’ missions worldwide. GDIT will use its AI capabilities to improve operational effectiveness and decision-making, migrate SOF to a multicloud environment and implement zero trust solutions to improve cybersecurity.

“Modern warfare is constantly evolving, and enhancing SOF’s digital capabilities is critical to mission success,” Brian Sheridan, GDIT’s senior vice president for defense, said in a statement. “We look forward to delivering a cutting-edge IT network that ensures our elite military units are connected to the intelligence they need to stay ahead in every mission.”

GDIT received a similar contract last year. In February 2024, the company announced it had won a $493 million task order to provide technical and mission services contract to SOCOM and its partners.

General Dynamics has more than 110,000 employees worldwide and reported $47.7 billion in 2024 revenue. It ranked No. 96 on the 2025 Fortune 1000. GDIT has about 30,000 employees and operates across more than 50 countries.
