General Dynamics Electric Boat, the Connecticut subsidiary of Reston-based Fortune 500 defense contractor General Dynamics, has been awarded an up to $1.85 billion contract modification from the U.S. Navy for preliminary construction efforts and to purchase long lead time materials and for Virginia-class Block VI submarines.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced Thursday that work will be performed in California, Arizona, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Minnesota, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York and other locations, and is expected to be completed by September 2035.
Naval Sea Systems Command, the contracting activity, obligated $1.68 billion in fiscal 2025 shipbuilding and conversion funds at the time of the award, according to the DOD.
Last week, Electric Boat announced that it won a $987 million contract modification from the DOD to allow additional component development, class lead yard support and Submarine Industrial Base development in the production of new submarines for the Navy.
General Dynamics Electric Boat employs more than 24,000 people. General Dynamics employs more than 110,000 people worldwide and generated $47.7 billion in 2024 revenue.
